Games shelf
The collection as a working tool — so choosing a game on the night takes thirty seconds, not thirty minutes of "how many are we again?" Every game gets a verdict after it's played, because the shelf's job is to remember what landed.
| Game | Owner | Players | Teach time | Weight | House verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (e.g. Codenames) | 4–8 | 5 min | light | ⭐ crowd-pleaser, always works | |
| (e.g. Catan) | 3–4 | 15 min | medium | good with the right group | |
Columns that decide a night:
- Players — the first filter; a great 4-player game is useless when 7 show up.
- Teach time — a 30-minute teach kills a casual night; know it before you commit.
- Weight — light / medium / heavy: match it to the crowd's mood and the hour.
- Verdict — filled after playing. This is the shelf's memory.
One new game a month
- This month's new game: _____
- Teacher (assigned in advance): _____ — learns the rules before the night, so the night is playing, not reading.
