Simple fun in Brussels

Let's continue the tradition and play UNO, everybody is welcome :)

We'll be playing at the lobby of Radisson RED, Brussels. The address of the hotel is:

Rue d'Idalie 35, 1050 Bruxelles

My number is 0471 45 55 02. Feel free to call if you cannot solve a physics question, cannot find the place or simply need a hug.

I have quickly written a set of rules on how we play. It is assumed that the reader has a basic concept of the game.

***

Setup:

• Each player starts with 6 or 7 cards each (depending on total number of players)
• A card is shown in play in the middle of everyone, this is known as the top card.

Goal:

• The goal of the game for each player is to get rid of all cards in your hand

Rules:

• Whenever you go from two cards to one card, you have to say "UNO".
• Each player takes his turn one by one, initially going in the clock-wise direction
• A card may be played if it matches the same colour or same number or same type as the top card in play
• The two black cards (Draw 4 and Wild) can be played regardless of the top card in play.
• Interruption rule: You may interrupt the general flow of the game (clockwise or counter-clockwise) if you have the EXACT same card as the top card in play. If you manage to play the card prior to the person whose turn it's supposed to be, then the game continues on from you in the same direction it was previously. (Unless the reverse card was interrupted, then the direction changes).
• Draw2 or Draw4 cards can be played in accordance to the interruption rule. The following person after the interrupt has to take the accumulated number of cards. If however, cards have already been drawn AND seen by the person who was supposed to take the cards, then only the remainder of cards has to be drawn.
• Once someone has no cards remaining in his hand, play stops and we start counting points.

Points:

• Number cards have the face value as the number of points. i.e. number 6 is worth 6 points, number 0 is worth 0 points, number 4 is worth 4 points.
• Skip, reverse and Draw2 are worth 20 points each
• Wild and draw4 are worth 50 points each

Let's have a swing dance at Cafe Entrepot in Leuven on Saturday night. The event on facebook is:

I'll be there at least from 9pm - 10pm. Let's meet at the bar directly. Here's my number if you can't find me at the bar - 0471 45 55 02.

If you're new to swing dancing, don't hesitate to give you a quick introduction to the dance.

See you guys there.

If you need a lift there and back, feel free to send a message. I'll be able fetch you if there's space in the car.

Let's gather once again for a BotC night!
I'll be running a handmade script called "Sick paranoia". It features (among others) a Poppy Grower, a Lunatic and a Marionnette. Without spoiling too much, I let you imagine how the synergy between these characters can affect the game experience. Before you realize it, you will find yourself like in a horror movie!
I'll communicate the exact locationno later than two days in advance.
Looking forward to seeing you!
Stan

Wanna meet cool people and enjoy some thrilling board game nights? Come and let's make some memorable moments together around the table!

🧩 What do we play?
We mainly focus of social interaction games like Secret Hitler, Dixit or Code Names, but you’re welcome to bring and play the games that you want! If you have a favorite game that you would like to share, we'd love to see it on the table! Normally, people are expected to bring their own games, but if you don't bring anything, no worries, there’s usually plenty to go around 🙂

🪑 Where do we play?
We usually gather in a bar or restaurant that generously offers us their space so that we can play. Therefore, it’s a great gesture to order at least a drink to show appreciation (don’t forget to pay your tab 💸 !). Plus, it helps maintain a positive relationship with the staff. If the weather's nice, we might move the fun outdoors to a nearby park instead. We’ll confirm the location no later than two days before the event.

🕓 Planning to come?
To help us choose the right venue and organize smoothly, please RSVP responsibly. Try to avoid last-minute signups or cancellations. Ideally, let us know at least 24 hours in advance.

🎲 Sharing Games?
If you borrow someone’s game, please ask first and treat it like your own. That means being careful with drinks, avoiding spills, and keeping all the pieces together.

❤️ Respect & Kindness First
We want this to be a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Disrespectful behavior, including any form of discrimination like racism or fascism (although...), won’t be tolerated. Let’s keep things friendly, inclusive, and fun.

📱 Questions or concerns?
Feel free to reach out to me directly if anything’s unclear or if you have a special request. I’m happy to help!
Phone: +32 492 23 25 07

Can't wait to play with you!

Warmly,
Stan
