THE BEST MUSIC PLAYLISTS FOR GAME NIGHT
Set the Mood with Great Game Night Music
No game night is complete without some good music to enhance the vibe and theme of your evening. The music shouldn't overshadow the board games, but rather provide some thematic background noise to drown out any awkward silences (or loud chewing).
​
The type of music you play depends heavily upon your guests, their preferences, and the types of games you plan to play. We recommend theming your music to match the board game you are playing. If you time it just right, you can switch playlists right as you begin your next game. This will really impress your guests and take game night to a whole new level.
​
Below we have provided some example music mixes aimed at creating a theme to match the game you are playing. We hope you enjoy them!
