6 people is minimum for multiday parties.

Gaming day could be long and hard. Prepare some refreshment and drinks to see the diffrence in mood of your participants.

4. Select proper games10

Our experience with game genres

There is a risk of long games when playing strategies in broad audience. First losers must wait a long time for others in such a case.

Action games are the most favoured. Game rounds are usualy short and participants can join ongoing games.

It is difficult to find a good racing game for LAN parties. Most of the games lack any difference between single and multiplayer.

You have to take into account the financial capabilities, hardware resources and experience of your participatns, when you select games for your LAN party.
