Plan a Games Night That Works for Mixed Skill Levels

You're hosting a games night and the guest list ranges from board game obsessives to people who last played Monopoly in 2009. This picks games and a running order that keep everyone in, not just the keen ones. Good for the host who wants a fun evening rather than a frosty table of confused newcomers.

**Choose the right games**
1. Recommend three games suitable for mixed skill levels based on the group description, explaining why each works for this specific group rather than generically praising the game.
2. Suggest one game to avoid and explain why mixed-skill groups often have a bad time with it.

**Structure the evening**
3. Suggest an order for the games: which type of game to start with to get the room comfortable, which to play in the middle when energy is high, and which to finish with.
4. Give two tips for keeping the night moving: what to do when one person is dominating or when people are losing interest.

**Make it welcoming**
5. Suggest one thing the host can say at the start to set the tone so that beginner players do not feel embarrassed.
