For the last three years or so, we have had home parties for my childrens' birthdays. When the parents come over, the most common comment is "Wow!". Some have asked to play. I have 15 tastefully set up and it really makes the basement.
Never had a negative comment said to my face. Worst I ever heard about was a few years ago. I had a party and invited about 18 or so people over. Everyone had a GREAT time. At the time, I had an IJ and ToM among others. The ladies seemed to love those games while the guys loved BSD. I had about 8 set up and playing. The party was a great success. Everyone had a blast or so I thought....
The next day, one of the guys comes over. He thanks me for inviting him. Said he loved the basement. When he and his fiancé left, I saw them to the door. He said on the way to their car, she said, "Never in our house!". I was shocked that she would say that given how much fun everyone was having. I just shook my head and thought to myself, "You have choosen poorly" LOL If she is telling him what he can and cann't do before marriage, well good luck to him!
Cheers,
