Make this upcoming holiday extra special in Atlanta, Georgia. If you’d like to add something striking to your dinner table (apart from something delicious, of course) this Standing Fan napkin fold speaks for itself. First, lay the napkin face-down. Fold in half so that the opening is facing you. Then fold the napkin like an accordion. Begin on one side and work your way to the other end. Leave about 2 to 3 inches unfolded. Fold the napkin in half so that the folds are on the outside, then tuck the unfolded corners in diagonally under the accordion folds. The last step is to open the napkin and stand it up. While these directions might seem complicated, the above link has pictures for every step of the way. Another great option to set the scene and mood at your dinner table is this DIY Wooden Candle Holder Centerpiece .

Board Game Recommendations

Now that the major holidays have passed, it’s nice to sit back and take a little break. Today, we’re sharing a few board game recommendations with residents at Arrive Perimeter in Atlanta, GA. Invite a few friends over to your apartment and enjoy a night of fun and games. Mysterium If you’re a fan of murder mysteries, then this game is for you! Mysterium has beautiful components, stunning artwork, and plenty of mysterious characters. Designed for 2-7 players, ages 10 and up. “Mysterium is a cooperative, deduction game that challenges two to seven players to solve a murder that occurred thirty years ago. One player takes on the role of a restless ghost, tasked with communicating the true culprit of the murder to the assembled psychics. The other players all play as psychics, receiving visions and interpreting them to the best of their abilities in order to narrow down the list of suspects.” Captain Sonar This game is like Battleship, only better! Take the classic game to the next level when you put team against team in this quick-paced battle. This is for 2-8 players, ages 12 and up. “Captain Sonar is an innovative real-time game that challenges two teams to take their submarines head-to-head in a thrilling battle. Your ultimate goal is to find and destroy your opponent’s submarine, but this task is far more difficult than it may first appear. Your entire crew must work together to chart a course, charge systems, locate the enemy, and keep your own submarine fully operational. Communication and teamwork can lead you to victory, but if you fail to cooperate, you’ll be sunk to the bottom of the ocean!” Ice Cool Keep cool this month with a game about penguins racing for fish during their lunch break! This is a simple game for 2-4 players, ages 6 and up. “Penguins slide through the school in this game of skill. In each round, one player becomes a person on duty (hall monitor). His goal is to catch the rest of the Penguins who are running around trying to collect fish.” Do you have a favorite board game to play in your apartment here in Atlanta, Georgia?
