Plan a Game Night Itinerary for a Group With Mixed Tastes

Half the group wants party games and half want something with actual strategy, and the evening only has so many hours. This orders games from lightest to heaviest, times each slot including teaching newcomers, and builds in a break, so the night has momentum instead of stalling.

<task>
**Plan** the itinerary:
1. Order games from lightest to heaviest so energy builds rather than starting too intense or fizzling out
2. Match each game slot to a rough time budget, including setup and teaching time for anyone new to a game
3. Build in one food or drink break at a natural point
4. Suggest one backup light game in case a heavier game runs long or falls flat
