Who this list is for
This list is made for anyone hosting six friends at home for a board game afternoon lasting three to five hours. If you want to keep game pieces clean and avoid sticky hands, this snack list is tailored for you. It works for casual gatherings where you want everyone focused on the games, not worrying about messes.
How to use this list
Start by checking your board game shelf and supplies. Set out four different board games, a set of extra dice, two score pads, and eight pencils. Protect your cards with one pack of card sleeves. For snacks, pick up two bags of pretzel sticks, twelve cups of popcorn, two boxes of cheese crackers, two pounds of grapes, twelve mandarins, and twenty-four mini cookies. Add six individual hummus cups and two bags of pita chips to round out the options. For drinks, twelve cans of soda cover the group. Cross off anything you already have before shopping.
Common mistakes
Don’t bring out snacks that leave greasy or sticky residue—no chips, dips, or frosted treats. Avoid bowls of nuts or candies that spill easily. Skip large bottles of soda or juice; individual cans prevent spills and are easier to manage. Forgetting enough pencils or score pads can slow down play, so double-check those. Card sleeves are often overlooked but help keep cards clean.

Before your friends arrive
