Board Game Party - for the true party game lovers

This party idea came about while I was chatting with a coworker at my office about my love for board games.

Concept: A party in which any number of your favorite board games are being played simultaneously. For example, you could have 4 different games set up at tables in a room with 4 players each, so you would need to invite 15 people (so that you can play as well to make it an even 16).

Rules: Using the example of a 16-person party, set up 4 teams of 4 people each. A "representative" from each team begins playing one of every game. After a certain amount of time (say 10-15 minutes, depending on game choices) set off some sort of alarm and have everyone switch to the next table & take the place of the previous person on their team. Game play continues. Think of it as speed dating, only with board games! The winning team would be the one with the most amount of total wins.

The most interesting part about this idea is that each team member ends up having to take over for the person playing the game before them.

If this ends up being a hit, it would be a great way to organize a set number of your friends to get together and do this once a month... like Bridge groups only with a twist!

I promise to eventually make this happen and follow up with how it goes, but for now just wanted to share our genius ;)
