How to host the perfect game night

As the nights draw in, skip going out and get your friends together for a festive game night. Expect all fun, a little rivalry and a lot of holiday cheer. It’s the perfect way to warm up for the festive season and test out your hosting skills ahead of the big day. Let the best memories win!

01. Get your game-face on

Prepare for the evening by setting up the perfect playground. That might mean grabbing a few extra chairs, clearing a space on the table, or simply setting the tone with an upbeat playlist. Whatever you need to do, make sure every player can see and reach the game board.

It wouldn’t be a festive game night without a little sparkle. Whether you decide to set a dress code or know your friends will put in the extra effort, set the example by adding a sparkling statement to your stack. Or how about chipping in for a 12 Day Advent Calendar, so you can each unbox a special surprise at the start of the night?

02. Take your tablescaping up a notch

If you’re confident in the kitchen, you might want to start the evening with a few festive courses. Take it as an opportunity to practice your cooking skills for the big day. But if you’d rather focus on the games than the dishes, opt for an easy finger food buffet - we all know it’s the festive nibbles that are the real crowd-pleasers anyway.

Cosmic Crackers

Either way, take your tablescaping up a notch with our Cosmic Crackers, each in a mystic design with exclusive Stud Earrings inside. They’re a luxurious gift for your guests, which will certainly make this evening one to remember.

03. Let the games begin

When playing with a group, the chances are you’ll all know a classic game or two, and at A&M we’ve reinvented a few of your favourites with our signature sparkling twist.

Ace the stacking game

Warm up your game night with a few or your group’s favourite card games (alcohol optional). No holiday, game night, or pub trip would be complete without a little friendly bickering over the ‘official’ rules between each hand. And our deck contains a touch of A&M magic that might just be your lucky charm.

Ready to own the board, and the room?

Once you’ve successful woken up your guests’ competitive sides, dive into something more tactical with Checkers by Astrid & Miyu. The game where every (diagonal) move counts. Cross the board, jump and crown your way to victory. We know it’s the taking part that counts, but there’s no better feeling than a winning streak.

A match written in the stars

Keep things interesting by creating your very own cosmic constellation of golden Domino Tiles by Astrid & Miyu. It’s a game of numbers, strategy, and a spot of luck. The aim is to find matches, play all of your pieces, and eventually leave the table glowing with gold.

You’ve perfected your stack, but is it built to last?

End the night on a high with something fast-paced and fun like a couple of rounds of Stacking Tower by Astrid & Miyu. Carefully and delicately remove each stacking block, before the tower comes down. Remember: success favours the bold, and no one likes a pushover. A little festive rivalry (or should we call it sabotage?) is guaranteed to get people laughing and talking into the rest of the night.

04. Glitter & Glory

Raise the stakes of your game night by rewarding the winner with a golden prize. Our Baubles Ornaments, Charming Gift Sets, and E-gift cards all make perfect prizes (and pre-Christmas treats). Feeling generous? Why not include a consolation gift for the loser, too.

Say thank you, the A&M way
