Game Night Planner

About the Game Night Planner

A quick-filter tool that helps you choose the right board game for any group, any evening. Tell it how many people are playing, how long you have, and how complex you want to go — it narrows 50+ games in real time so you spend less time debating and more time playing.

No account required. Works on any device. Just set your filters and pick a game.

How to Use the Planner

• Set your player count: Drag the slider to your exact headcount. The planner immediately hides any game that doesn't support that number of players.
• Pick a playtime: Choose Quick (under 30 min), Medium (30–75 min), Long (75–120 min), or Epic (120+ min) depending on how much time you have before someone needs to leave.
• Filter by difficulty: Easy games work for mixed groups and first-timers. Medium suits regular players. Heavy and Expert are for hobbyists who enjoy reading rulebooks.
• Filter by category: Want everyone talking? Try Party or Social Deduction. Prefer working together? Cooperative. Just two of you? The 2-Player filter shows games designed specifically for head-to-head play.
• Click any game card to read the full review — including setup time, strategy tips, and whether it's worth buying.

When to Use the Planner

• Mixed experience levels: When some guests are board game regulars and others haven't played since Monopoly, filter to Easy or Medium and look for Family-tagged games that don't punish new players.
• Large groups: Slide the player count up to 6, 8, or 10 to find games that actually scale. Most strategy games cap at 4 — the planner surfaces the party games and social-deduction titles that handle bigger crowds.
• Short on time: Set Playtime to Quick and you'll only see games that wrap up in half an hour or less — great for a warm-up round before the main event.
• Two-player nights: The 2-Player filter shows games specifically built for head-to-head play, not games that technically allow two but are better with more.
