Thought this might be a good place to start. I just got back so started back up the board gaming with the SCGH and BWMC people on Thursday and Friday nights respectively. Originally the idea was to bring the two groups together so that we from different church can get to know each other so that we can work together as ONE church. However it's quite hard when there isn't a regular attendance in any of the groups. I'm not the greatest at organizing stuff so it's probably just me not been able to put may intentions out there for meeting up.
Tailoring board gaming sessions is hard ... well I find it quite hard. Number of players, game time, genre, or theme are just a number of factors that will affect people's willingness play the game. Statistically with our commonality of Christianity, the likelihood we have that many more similarities, having same preferences is lower ... okay I'm rambling but do you get me? Having the same preference in board games is seriously unlikely. I've had to chose to play games that don't exactly fall in my preferences but guess that's what I need to do as game host. This isn't expected of other people. Bringing more and more people means more and more differences in preferences. Maybe I need to have a specific heavy game night and a lighter game night?
Take playing Resistance. Playing on Sunday after like 20-30 minutes two of us were already over the game. People played the game different to how other people expected so were suspected of spy just because they play different. Even under a genre, when people play dramatically different it's almost like a different game because other people need to respond differently.
Think I need to come up with a different way to organize these game nights. I did make an Excel sheet stating peoples preferences in different game properties ... maybe I can come up with something.
