One pad for the whole evening: log every game you play — whatever it is — with scores for six players, a winner column, and a leaderboard that crowns the night’s champion at the end.

The difference between "we played some games" and a game night is continuity — something at stake across the evening. This pad supplies it: every game logs a row, every row feeds the leaderboard, and suddenly the person who lost the first three games is grinding out placement points in the fourth with real intent.
Tick the box before the first deal. Wins-only is clean but brutal in six-player games; podium keeps mid-table drama alive; placement is the connoisseur's pick — beat four people, score four — because it makes every seat matter in every game. Whatever you choose, write it down: the box exists because "wait, how are we scoring tonight?" at 10pm has ended better evenings than this one.
Mix speeds: something quick to open (a dice game runs ten minutes), something meatier mid-evening, something silly to close. Most games on this site have printable sheets of their own — Yahtzee, Farkle, UNO, Skip-Bo — and this log sits on top of any of them.
Team games? Log the team score in one column and bracket the partners' names — points go to each member at tally time.
Kids and adults together? Placement scoring plus one kids-pick game per night flattens the field beautifully.
