Get ready for an epic night of board games at the SpielBar! 🌟
We're hosting a monthly Meetup where you can dive into a world of fun, strategy, and laughter. From easy-going games for beginners to thrilling challenges for the pros, we have something for everyone.

Don't worry about the rules; I'll be there to walk you through every step, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all. The SpielBar offers a fantastic selection of games, so you're in for a treat!
RSVP now to secure your spot, and join us for an evening full of board games, and fun. 🎲🎉🏳️‍🌈

How does it work?
We meet at 6:30 pm. Once we're gathered, we'll choose the games we want to play. If we're more than 6 people, we'll split up and play different games simultaneously. You can, of course, bring a board game with you and suggest it! We will finish the event by bringing everyone together again for a casual get-together.

Join our monthly “Queer Kegelabend”, which is mostly a pure fun event with a slight sportive touch. No previous experience required. Beginners and all genders most welcome! It is our ambition to welcome a broadly diversified crowd! Your own omfortable footwear might contribute to an enjoyable evening.

Schedule:

1. 19:20 Get together
2. 19:25 Instructions (including safety), line-up of participants
3. 19:30 Getting started

• Latecomers unfortunately can´t be admitted.
• Please bring a few EUR 1 coins to keep the coin operated machinery going.

There is no drinks or food service in the basement (Kegelbahn) of Café Weidinger. So feel free to order something on arrival and take it downstairs before we get started. Alternatively bring your own drinks or food. Yes, this is possible!

Its chatting, meeting (new) people, catching-up with the ones you might already know from our monthly MeetUps at the HIVE or other events. Communication is key, like always. Let’s enjoy a nice evening together with a modest sportive touch on the side!

Please show respect to the others and arrive on time. As we need to line-up the players before getting starteted, hence late comers unfortunately can´t be admitted.

What is skittles play (Kegeln)?
Skittles play has a very long tradition in Europe and is the game before the Americans "invented" bowling. So we will play with 9 pins and smaller balls with less weight compared to bowling.

Costs: To rent the skittle alley is just EUR 8 per hour for the whole group. We will divide costs by the number of participants.
So expect a contribution of around EUR 2-3 for the whole evening. The number of participants is limited.
The machinery of the skittle alley is coin operated and accepts EUR 1 coins only. So please bring along a few EUR 1 coins to keep the machinery going!

Participation Fee: To help cover the Meetup maintenance fee, we recommend a donation of 1-2 Euros directly to the organizers.

Results: The results of the evening (Igo is so kind to count the scores and enters theses for each participant in a spreadsheet) are published in the "pictures" area of the MeetUp. Historic results are availble there.

Cafe Weidinger has not been renovated over the last at least 50 years.
The skittles alley dates from 1964. You can feel this "special flair". A bit shaby, but inexpensive fun for a whole evening.
It´s almost a museum of a skittles alley.

The difference between bowling and skittles play:

• The bowling lanes are covered with an oil film, the skittles lane is not.
• In bowling, the ball is is considerably larger and heavier.
• Bowling lanes are slightly curved, our lane is flat.
• Bowling balls have three holes, our balls have none, one or two. Most of our balls have two holes.
• Nine pins are thrown instead of ten.
• In bowling, the pins are set up by so-called pin-setter machines and therefore stand freely in contrast to skittles, where the pins hang from strings.
• Our skittles lane is an asphalt lane.
• You do not need to rent or bring special shoes llike for bowling. But to play in sneakers or sportive footwear is more comfortable.
