Welcome to **Jiada Mahjong**, a place to learn, play, and connect around the table. Whether you’re completely new or already know the game, you’re welcome. Beginners are guided step by step, while experienced players can jump straight in and play at their own pace. On **Friday, 1 May**, we are hosting **A Mahjong Night** at **Grand Café LIVING in Utrecht**. Expect a relaxed, beginner-friendly afternoon of Mahjong, where you’ll learn the game, play together, and meet new people in a laid-back atmosphere. ✨ **What to expect:** - Step-by-step Mahjong introduction - 3 hours of casual play with guidance - Two drinks (wine, beer, or soda) - Two bits (bittergarnituur) - Extra drinks & bites available for purchase at the bar - Relaxed social atmosphere - Meet new people and share a table **All Levels Welcome** Whether you’re completely new or already play comfortably, this session is designed so everyone gets the right experience at the right table. **Beginner Workshop (never played)** Learn how to play Sichuan Mahjong (also known as “Bloody Battle to the End”), a fast-paced and accessible variant that blends strategy, skill, and a bit of luck. This beginner workshop is designed to get you from zero to playing in a single session. You won’t sit through a long lecture. After a short introduction, you’ll start playing right away. A dedicated host will guide you step by step at the table—explaining the tiles, the flow of the game, and the core techniques as you go. You learn by doing, not by memorizing. By the end of the session, you’ll be able to play a simple version of Sichuan Mahjong independently. Depending on how quickly you pick it up, you may also start understanding how scoring (points) works. Why Sichuan Mahjong? It’s one of the most popular and beginner-friendly Mahjong styles. The rules are more accessible than many other variants, while still offering enough depth to keep the game interesting as you improve. **Open Play (Basic, Intermediate & Advanced)** Already familiar with Mahjong? You’ll be seated with players at a similar level and can jump straight into gameplay. Questions are always welcome, but the focus is on smooth, uninterrupted play. We support multiple Mahjong styles, including Sichuan, Hong Kong, and Riichi. Tables are organized based on player preferences whenever possible. If enough players wish to play the same style, we’ll group them together. However, this depends on attendance and cannot be guaranteed. If there aren’t enough players for your preferred style, you may be seated at another table, and we’ll provide a brief introduction to help you get started. 📅 Firday, 26 June 🕒 18:00 – 21:00 🏷️ Tickets can be found on our website: [JiadaMahjong.com](https://jiadamahjong.com/products/a-mahjong-night-grand-cafe-living) 📍 **Grand Café LIVING**, Weg tot de Wetenschap 400, 3584 CN **Utrecht**

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Cafe Crawl series! This edition is a special one because it's for women only, a fun girl's night out exploring cute cafes together! It's the perfect way to make new female friends in the city or just have a good evening together. We will visit a few nice cafes close to the beautiful Griftpark and we might pass some beautiful street art too. At each stop we'll sit down, enjoy something to eat or drink, and get to know the women around us. You'll be put in small groups that switch a few times, so by the end you'll have had genuine conversations with a good mix of women. How it works: We walk, we discover, we eat something delicious, and we meet new people. The focus is on being in the moment, enjoying the city, and good company. ⚠️ If you're unsure whether you can make it, please free up your spot for someone else.

Let us meet, have a coffee and code together, or just discuss :)! This Meetup is everyone that considers himself "Techie", in the broad sense and wants to socialize :). Join us and chat, ask your questions, or work on your own projects. The choice is yours! There is no agenda, this is simply a gathering of interested folks :). We're meeting at Lebkov right inside the Utrecht Centraal station. We're typically sitting at the large table. Search for the folks with the laptops in the back! You are very welcome to join whether you are an experienced developer, or simply interested and want to chat!

Get ready for a night of questionable singing, sizzling grills, and unforgettable chaos in the heart of Utrecht! We’ll kick off the evening at [Duke of Tokyo Utrecht](https://dukeoftokyo.com/en), one of the city’s most iconic karaoke spots. Hidden beneath the streets of Utrecht in a neon-lit Tokyo-inspired wonderland, this place is all about private karaoke rooms, over-the-top vibes, cocktails, and singing your heart out with friends. After warming up our vocal cords (and possibly damaging them forever), we’ll take a short walk to [Daebak Korean BBQ](https://daebakbbq.nl/) for an interactive Korean BBQ dinner experience. Expect tabletop grills, endless sizzling meat, delicious banchan, and the kind of food coma that only Korean BBQ can deliver. **🕒 Schedule** * **17:30 – 19:30** → Karaoke at Duke of Tokyo * **20:00 – 22:00** → Korean BBQ dinner at Daebak The two venues are within walking distance from each other. **💰 Costs** **Karaoke Only** * Karaoke at Duke of Tokyo: **€18** **Korean BBQ Only** * Korean BBQ dinner at Daebak: **€42** **Full Evening** * Karaoke + Korean BBQ: **€60** *Drinks are not included.* **⚠️ Important Information** * You are welcome to join **only the karaoke**, **only the dinner**, or **both activities**. * RSVP means commitment to attend. * Everyone pays for themselves. * Please arrive on time so we can enter the karaoke rooms together. * Bring your best (or worst) song choices. * No singing talent required — enthusiasm is far more important. Expect a night full of laughter, dramatic performances, K-pop singalongs, nostalgic 2000s hits, smoky BBQ grills, and probably at least one accidental duet.

Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**). A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out! ***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!*** Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017
