You can also provide some fantasy/medieval-themed mats for each player at the table.

2. Sci-Fi Extravaganza

Prepare for lift-off with a sci-fi-themed game night that's out of this world! Deck out your gaming space with futuristic decor, neon lights, and space-age props to create a spaceship atmosphere. Serve up cosmic cocktails and futuristic snacks, and break out classic sci-fi board games like Cosmic Encounter, Terraforming Mars, or Twilight Imperium. 

Whether you're exploring distant galaxies, battling alien invaders, or colonizing new worlds, there's no limit to the adventures you can have in the final frontier. So suit up, strap in, and get ready for a gaming experience that's light years ahead!

3. Retro Revival

Relive the glory days of gaming with a retro-themed game night that celebrates the classics! Dust off your vintage consoles, arcade machines, and board games from decades past, and create a nostalgic atmosphere with retro decor, old-school tunes, and pixelated graphics. Serve up retro snacks like popcorn, soda, and candy, and challenge your friends to epic battles in games like Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., or Space Invaders. Seasoned tabletop gamers and newcomers can find awesome retrowave goods in our collection today!

Channel your inner detective with a mystery-themed game night that's full of suspense and intrigue! Set the scene with dim lighting, eerie music, and mysterious decor to create an atmosphere of suspense and anticipation. Serve up themed cocktails and snacks, and challenge your guests to solve puzzles, uncover clues, and unravel the secrets hidden within each game. 

From deduction games like Clue and Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective to cooperative adventures like Betrayal at Baldur's Gate and Mysterium, there's no shortage of mysteries waiting to be solved. So sharpen your wits, trust your instincts, and get ready for a night of mystery, mayhem, and endless fun!
