Application Performance Monitoring

Everyone is welcome! No previous experience or game knowledge needed — I’ll explain all the rules before we start. [How to Play](https://youtu.be/CjQnbiOW1cA?si=OcCixDY_Ph4SIwoh) [BGG](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/200077/mint-works) [Rulebook](https://cdn.1j1ju.com/medias/d7/7a/02-mint-works-rulebook.pdf) Mint Works is a light and straightforward worker placement game. Its compact size makes it easy to put in your pocket and take it anywhere. Its simple rules make it easy to introduce new players to the genre of worker placement. During the game each player will have a limited amount of Mint Tokens, which represent their workers. Players will use these mint tokens to earn more tokens, take first player or buy and build plans. Plans are how players earn points. Some plans will give only points, others will give extra powers to the owner. Once any player has at least 7 points earned (or if there are not enough plans to refill the stock) the end of the game is triggered. The game will then be over at the end of the current round. Whoever has the most points provided by plans they have built wins!

Our traditional "Join & Play" event is on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Thursdays of each month. As always, it's free to come & play with us. How does it work ? • The events are open for beginner to advanced gamers. If you're new here they're the perfect gateway to discover what we do! • Those who want to host a game are asked to share in the comments below which game, & for how many players you can run your table. • For others, if you see a game you'd like to join just respond to the host in the comments below and we'll reserve a spot for that game for you. • Don't worry if you're new to boardgames or simply don't know the games being hosted this time around; you can simply show up and the event host will sort out a spot at a table for you! **But please make sure to arrive by 19h30 *at the latest* so we can take the time to find you a suitable spot.** • The rules for the games will be explained by the table host before the game starts. No need to study them upfront, although several hosts post a video link to rules or background which can enhance your enjoyment of the game if you have the time to watch beforehand. This is never mandatory, however. ============================================== Games on the night: **\-\-\-\- [Rear Window](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/358816/rear-window) \-\-\-\-** Spot 1: Mislav (host) Spot 2: Yoann Spot 3: Frodo_05 Spot 4: Bruna **\-\-\-\- [Chimera Station](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/163642/chimera-station) \-\-\-\-** Spot 1: Sorac (host) Spot 2: Yarince Spot 3: Andrea Spot 4: **\-\-\-\- [The White Castle](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/371942/the-white-castle) \-\-\-\-** Spot 1: Cerebral (host) Spot 2: Cedric Timmermans Spot 3: Pedro Rafael (Spot 4): **\-\-\-\- [Oceans](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/232414/oceans) \-\-\-\-** Spot 1: Cyril (host) Spot 2: Arthur Spot 3: Jorge C (Spot 4): Marco **\-\-\-\- [Ghost Stories](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37046/ghost-stories) \-\-\-\-** Spot 1: Toby (host) Spot 2: Priscilla Spot 3: Mathieu (Scap) Spot 4: **\-\-\-\- TABLE 6 \-\-\-\-** Spot 1: (host) Spot 2: Spot 3: Spot 4: **\-\-\-\- TABLE 7 \-\-\-\-** Spot 1: (host) Spot 2: Spot 3: Spot 4: **\-\-\-\- TABLE 8 \-\-\-\-** Spot 1: (host) Spot 2: Spot 3: Spot 4:

It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.* *In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.* **THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY!** **LOCATION:** Château Moderne Mont des Arts 1 1000 Bruxelles

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter. Program: 15’ warm up **To be defined** Cool down to get back to the starting point… or more S=All out sprint RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed) CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold) J = Jog, recuperation Notes: It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point. It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.

We haven’t seen them before, but they sound fantastic in their videos! Pronounced "Tune-a-matics”, this unique group is a combination of two lead vocalist bandleaders, each from their own well established local band. Their friendship brought them together to enjoy the opportunity to "downsize" and play the songs they love. It adds up to a diversified song list spanning the decades from the 60s through today, and performances that have drawn accolades for their engaging delivery of good songs for good times! Tunematics includes guitarist Scott Butler from Vienna's Party Band, "Fat Chance" and Tim Wynne, veteran bassist from DC's legendary band "Sinbad" and "The Odyssey Band of DC".

Join us for our first meetup! We will have a discussion on Fiat vs Bitcoin, a little bit of learning and discussions that are important to the group. This a social group so bring your questions and curiosity, prepared to listen and share. Too often, women are left out of the conversation while they prepare to live longer, care for more people and are the heart of any community. Wouldn't it be great if we could be more educated on ways to beat inflation, have more choices, and be prepared for the changes to come? Please bring your questions, so that we can plan topics for future meet-ups.
