Vegetarian game-night finger foods?

There is this big soccer game on Sunday and we're having friends over to watch it together. They're vegetarian - they do eat a little fish and eggs and cheese but no meat. We've had them over before but only for a sit-down meal and I prefer to put out finger foods that everyone can help themselves to and enjoy as they watch the game.
Do you have any ideas for vegetarian finger foods? (Besides the obvious veggies with dip and salads).
I was thinking some mini falafels and may be flatbread with zaatar cut up in pieces... What else could I do?
BTW calories are not a factor in this case.

Do they eat dairy? Cheese and crackers are always a hit, although I'm kind of tempted to recommend you take your Mediterranean theme and run with it!
Mini falafels sound awesome. You could also make hummus to go with your flatbread. Does your local grocery store have an antipasti bar? You could grab some fancy olives, stuffed grape leaves, and little peppers stuffed with goat cheese.0 -

Ooh yes stuffed vine leaves! How could I forget!
And the spinach pies gave me an idea - I can just make a big spanakopita and cut it up. Have been wanting spinach for a while.
Thank you guys! I hadn't realized it was a theme to be honest, but you're right, that whole region has great vegetarian options and finger-friendly too. "Mediterranean medley" it is then!0 -
stuffed dates!

Honestly most regular game night food can be made vegetarian, or already is. Queso, spinach dip, french onion dip, layered bean dip... I don't know if they care about gelatin since they eat fish, but that's the ingredient to normally check for in those. Spring rolls, samosas, jalapeno poppers are super easy to buy frozen and bake in the oven.0

Spinache & artichoke dip, hummus and veggies, crab rangoon dip, stuffed mushrooms, portabella pizzas, the obvious veggie tray, pinwheels, there's so many ideas!

Buffalo cauliflower wing pizza - I made a batch of these as mini pizzas for my friend's birthday party and they were gone within minutes!

They can be made vegan and gluten free worn barely any extra work, so they work for almost every diet ☺0 -

Thank you all, we did have Mediterranean foods in the end, falafels, mini filo pies different kinds, salads and dips... Guests loved it, or perhaps they were just super happy that their team won
I am bookmarking this thread for future reference because I love all the ideas and will probably use them all in time, especially with picnic season looming just below the horizon.0
