Board game night

2. Prepare to host

Confirm the venue’s permission, usable layout, sound conditions, access arrangements and setup/clearing window. Set participant capacity from the activity and available leadership, then count all hosts and helpers within the room limit. A playing host also occupies a player place; a nonplaying host still occupies room space.

Prepare the materials and rehearse the parts you will lead. Confirm [materials supplied], [what participants bring] and [host/helper responsibilities] before publishing. Use original or properly authorized material. For minors, arrange the host organization’s safeguarding and guardian requirements.

Identity and materials: Use lawfully obtained games and original hosting instructions. Keep publisher names descriptive and do not reproduce rulebooks/art or claim sanctioned tournament status without checking the publisher’s terms.
