How to Host a Sparkle*Kitty Nights Game Night

Quick answer

Hosting a game night with the Sparkle*Kitty Nights expansion is simple: gather 4–8 players, use the base game, and add the Safe Words Pack for extra variety with Vampire and Werewolf modes.

Steps to host your Sparkle*Kitty Nights game night

1. Set up the player count and base game: Ensure you have the Sparkle*Kitty Nights base game required for the expansion. Invite 4–8 players, ideally 6 for balanced teams. Check everyone is 13 or older. A common mistake is inviting more than 8 players; the expansion does not support larger groups.
2. Add the Safe Words Pack cards: Shuffle the 40 expansion cards into the base deck. Explain the new Vampire and Werewolf modes briefly before starting. These modes add team powers and new win conditions. Do not skip the rule explanation; new players may confuse the modes with the base game.
3. Explain the game flow and time limit: Each round takes about 15 minutes. Set a timer for the whole session (e.g., 4 rounds = 1 hour). Remind players to use safe words if a role or action makes them uncomfortable. Forgetting the safe word rule can lead to awkward moments; emphasize it before the first round.
4. Start with a practice round: Play one practice round with the expansion cards to let everyone experience the new spells and enchantments. This reduces confusion during the main game. Skipping the practice round is a common mistake that slows down the real game.
5. Keep the energy up with team powers: Encourage players to use wild team powers strategically. Rotate roles each round so everyone gets a turn as vampire or werewolf. A common mistake is letting one player dominate; rotate roles to keep it fair and fun.
