**Italiano / English friendly 🎲🌿** **[Italiano]** Passiamo un bel pomeriggio al Parco Sempione: merenda, giochi da tavolo facili, chiacchiere e nuove amicizie. Porterò giochi leggeri e alcuni giochi sociali, perfetti anche per chi non gioca spesso. L’idea è giocare senza fretta, parlare tra una partita e l’altra e goderci un pomeriggio tranquillo all’aperto. Puoi venire anche da solo/a o con un’amica/o. Ci sarà già un piccolo gruppo di partenza, quindi sarà facile inserirsi, giocare e chiacchierare. Se vuoi, porta qualcosa da condividere: un pacchetto di patatine, biscotti, snack o qualcosa da bere. Se hai un telo o una coperta, può essere utile per sederti sul prato. Dopo le 18:30, per chi ha voglia, possiamo continuare con una pizza lì vicino per cena, verso le 19:30/20:00. 🍕 Pubblicherò aggiornamenti nella chat dell’evento, inclusa una foto del punto in cui saremo al parco. Se arrivi un po’ più tardi, nessun problema: avvisami su Meetup o Instagram @meetandchill_it e ti rispondo subito **[English]** Let’s enjoy a nice Saturday afternoon at Parco Sempione: Italian-style merenda, easy board games, friendly chats and new people to meet. I’ll bring light games and social games, perfect even if you don’t usually play. The idea is to take it slow, play a little, chat between games and enjoy a relaxed afternoon outdoors. You can come alone or bring a friend. There will already be a small group, so it’ll be easy to join in, play and chat. Feel free to bring something to share: a bag of chips, cookies, snacks or something to drink. A picnic blanket can also be useful. After 6:30 PM, whoever wants can join us for pizza nearby, around 7:30/8:00 PM. 🍕 I’ll post updates in the event chat, including a photo of our spot in the park. If you arrive a bit later, no problem: just message me on Meetup or Instagram @meetandchill_it and I’ll reply asap!
