Charcuterie Draft
Run it like a fantasy draft: each guest is assigned a slot — cheese, cured meat, carb, pickle/spread, wild card — and brings one excellent thing for it. Assemble one obscene board together. Chaos, but coordinated chaos.
What it's for
Let the host offload the entire board to guests without losing coordination — assigned slots beat "bring something to share."
The guest's job
Bring one exceptional item for your slot: cheese, meat, carb, pickle/spread, or wild card — nothing else.
The vote
Best contribution by category, then the overall board MVP.
The reveal
The assembly moment — guests arrange their own piece and the board takes shape together.
Food & drink spine
The board itself is the spine; host provides wine and a simple backup loaf.
Conversation fuel
"What’s the one thing that absolutely does not belong on a charcuterie board but you’d eat anyway?"
How it flops — steer around it
Four cheeses, zero meat. Assign slots in the invite, not as a suggestion.
