My game group in Toledo keeps calling our weekly meetup a 'board game night' when we play mostly card games. It's not the same thing. | Board Game Geeks - Rigidtalk
Honestly just start calling it game night. That's what we did when our group was playing a ton of Coup and Love Letter. It covers everything and stops the weird debates. If someone brings Monopoly, it's still game night. If you're playing a big box board game, still game night. It's the easiest fix and everyone gets it.
