📄 Game Host — Role Description

What does a Game Host do?

Your job is to show up, be friendly, and play games with people who come to Game Night. That means:

  • Set up tables and supplies for a few game options before the event
  • Welcoming newcomers and helping them feel comfortable
  • Keeping the energy flowing if things get quiet (pick up a new game)
  • Maintain a safe environment for all present
  • Clean up after the gamers leave

What we're looking for in a Host

Friendliness and a willingness to interact with people are essential. You should enjoy playing a wide variety of card, tabletop, and board games, and have a few favorites that you like to teach to new people.

What to bring

You might want to bring some of your own game supplies from home. However, Weavers also has a wide variety of games available to use.

The space

Events are generally held in the Library and Social Room at Weavers of the Web (unless otherwise noted in the task description). Expect 1-2 tables, comfortable and low-key. Game supplies are always available.

Attendance

Attendance varies. When an event is running consistently and fully staffed, you can expect more people to show up. If you're hosting a newly-relaunched or less-publicized date, it may be quieter. (Don't forget to share the event with your friends to boost attendance!) Please plan to stay for the full event, regardless of turnout; guests can arrive at any point during drop-in events.

Logistics

  • Solo hosting unless otherwise noted, although friends/partners are welcome to join in
  • No preparation required beyond showing up ready to engage
  • A check-in process for guests is coming soon; details will be communicated when it's in place.

Day-of issues

If you're running late, have an emergency, or need to cancel, contact Solinox directly as soon as possible.
