[Join our new Whatsapp Group for the latest updates!](https://fk2mqh.s.gy/whatsapp-invite) *Signing up or clicking "RSVP" on a Meetup event does not guarantee a spot. Spots are limited so please reserve your ticket.* ***\>\>[TICKETS](https://luma.com/q92lg717)<<*** ## ENGLISH Okay, okay. We heard you. After a much longer break than originally planned, Mario Kart is FINALLY coming back to Nomad House. On **Sunday, October 25th**, we’re bringing back one of our favourite community nights for **Mario Kart #5**. Same idea as always: grab a controller, pick a character you will defend with your life, and spend the evening questioning how a blue shell somehow always arrives at the worst possible moment. We’ll have: 🎮 **Mario Kart tournament** 🏎️ **Free play before & after** 🎲 **Board games** 🃏 **Poker table** **🍻 Drinks at the bar** **🤝 Plenty of time to meet people between races** You absolutely do not need to be good at Mario Kart. In fact, historically, confidence has been a very poor indicator of actual driving ability. Come to race, come for the games, or just come hang out. It’s been a while. **Tickets:** [https://luma.com/q92lg717](https://luma.com/q92lg717) ## ESPAÑOL Vale, vale. Os hemos escuchado. Después de una pausa bastante más larga de lo que teníamos pensado, Mario Kart POR FIN vuelve a Nomad House. El **domingo 25 de octubre** recuperamos una de nuestras noches favoritas de la comunidad con **Mario Kart #5**. La idea es la de siempre: coge un mando, elige ese personaje que defenderás como si te fuera la vida en ello y pasa la tarde preguntándote cómo puede ser que el caparazón azul siempre aparezca en el peor momento posible. Tendremos: 🎮 **Torneo de Mario Kart** 🏎️ **Free play antes y después** 🎲 **Juegos de mesa** 🃏 **Mesa de póker** **🍻 Bebidas en el bar** **🤝 Y tiempo de sobra para conocer gente entre carrera y carrera** No hace falta que seas bueno jugando a Mario Kart. De hecho, históricamente, la confianza ha demostrado tener muy poca relación con la capacidad real de conducir. Ven a competir, ven por los juegos o simplemente ven a pasar el rato. Ya hacía falta. **Entradas:** [https://luma.com/q92lg717](https://luma.com/q92lg717) ## CATALÀ D'acord, d'acord. Us hem escoltat. Després d'una pausa bastant més llarga del que teníem previst, Mario Kart FINALMENT torna a Nomad House. El **diumenge 25 d'octubre** recuperem una de les nostres nits preferides de la comunitat amb **Mario Kart #5**. La idea és la de sempre: agafa un comandament, tria aquell personatge que defensaràs com si t'hi anés la vida i passa la tarda preguntant-te com pot ser que la closca blava sempre aparegui en el pitjor moment possible. Tindrem: 🎮 **Torneig de Mario Kart** 🏎️ **Free play abans i després** 🎲 **Jocs de taula** 🃏 **Taula de pòquer** **🍻 Begudes al bar** **🤝 I molt de temps per conèixer gent entre cursa i cursa** No cal que siguis bo jugant a Mario Kart. De fet, històricament, la confiança ha demostrat tenir molt poca relació amb la capacitat real de conduir. Vine a competir, vine pels jocs o simplement vine a passar una bona estona. Ja tocava. **Entrades:** [https://luma.com/q92lg717](https://luma.com/q92lg717)

From Nomad House Barcelona
4.8

**Friday = Poker Night at Nomad House. ♠️** Every Friday, we'll have **two Texas Hold'em tables** running alongside a relaxed social evening at the bar. Come to play poker, grab a drink, meet some people, practice a language or simply **switch off after the working week**. **New in Barcelona?** You'll find a mix of newcomers, internationals and locals, so the evening is as much about meeting people as it is about the cards. And you absolutely **don't need to play poker** to join. The rest of the space stays open for drinks, conversations and socialising while the games are running. *And here is, of course, the ChatGPT-esque list for those who skipped everything above:* ♠️ Two Texas Hold'em tables 🍻 Bar & drinks 💬 Social & language exchange 🌍 Newcomers, internationals & locals 🎟️ **FREE ENTRY** Entrance is free. If you're joining us, we simply ask that you **grab a drink or two from the bar to help support the venue and keep nights like this free.** **Important:** This is social poker. **No real-money gambling.** Poker is played with chips for entertainment only. Whether you're coming for the cards or simply looking for a relaxed Friday evening after work, we'll see you at Nomad House. \~ Milliardo
