Board Games at Bastard Café
It is Sunday again! So it is time for us to gather at Bastard Cafe playing games, enjoying a good drink, and having fun in the lovely atmosphere of the Cafe. Everybody is welcome, whether you are new to board games or you are an experienced player. We play everything from Codenames, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, The Resistance, Secret Hitler to more medium-long games like Terraforming Mars, Pandemic, Power Grid, 7 Wonders and Catan. You are welcome to come and play for a few hours or even stay longer if you feel like it! So girls and guys, come and join us for fun and games at Bastard Cafe! :D
**FAQ**
**Q**: *How can I find you?*
**A**: Sometimes we got white flags saying 'Meetup' on the tables, and at other times we simply write the table number in the comment sections. But if you have any trouble finding us you are always welcome to write (chat or comment) and we will gently guide you to our table! :)
**Q**: *What language do you speak?*
**A**: Since our group is a mix of natives and internationals we primarily speak English.
**Q**: *What games do you play?*
**A**: All sorts of games! Social deduction games, strategy games, deckbuilding games, dice games, card games, dexterity games, you name it! If there is any game you want to play feel free to put a comment below, or bring it to the table to see if people are interested!
**Q**: *For how long do you play?*
**A**: As long as people want. We don't have a minimum or maximum time. The timer set from 1:30 pm to 8 pm are merely guiding times. Some leave after a few hours, others play until the cafe close...xD
**Q**: *I am going to be 15 minutes late, can I still show up?*
**A**: Of course! You are always welcome! Just be aware that people might have already started games if you show up a bit later.
**Q**: *What is the average age in the group?*
**A**: In general, we are a very mixed age-group but most people are probably in their 20's and 30's. Though by default, anyone no matter the age, gender, or otherwise, is welcome!
**Q**: How does visiting the cafe work?
**A**: A membership of the cafe cost 150 dkk a year and gives you access to all their games. Else you need a day ticket costing 30 dkk to play all games. There are also free games, but it is required you buy at least one drink from the bar to play them.

Malmo AI Safety kickoff
We’re living through something comparable to the Industrial Revolution — except this time, the machines don’t just replace muscle, they try to replicate cognition.
This group is for people in Malmö who want to calmly and seriously discuss AI safety: how advanced AI systems might impact society, work, power, and long-term human wellbeing — and what can be done to steer development in a beneficial direction.
The meetup is informal and discussion-based. We’ll talk about current AI systems, near-future risks, ethical questions, governance, and technical safety ideas — always with an emphasis on critical thinking rather than hype or fear.
You don’t need to be an AI expert. Students, researchers, professionals, and curious non-technical people are all welcome. If you’re interested in understanding AI beyond headlines — and want to think together with others — this meetup is for you. Fun and nice atmosphere included.
First meeting: introductions, short framing, open discussion, and figuring out what this group should become.
Location details: this time we meet at Malmö Stadsbiblioteket, I'll come there in advance and take a room for us. Message me when you are at the library, so I pick you up, "Hey, I am here" or something 🙂
Get together and write
We're a group of writers that meets up every Sunday for a productive writing session.
**Here's how the meetup works:**
* We gather together, grab some fika, and then we write for an hour.
* After the hour is up, we spend some time chatting, sharing ideas and thoughts on writing, and discussing the challenges we've come across.
The goal is to **commit to working on your writing project for a set amount of time, all while** **connecting with other writers** and being motivated by the energy of creative minds working hard on their individual projects.
You'll have the chance to share your work and receive valuable feedback (if you so wish) or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals.
--
We're here, **same place, same time, every week.** So if you're feeling up to it, drop by and let's get writing!

Resource Presentation - Build Systems That Support Your Growth
## **1 Million Cups Loudoun – Resource Presentation**
**Why Not Today? Build Systems That Support Your Growth**
**Presented by Leslie Kane, Founder of Why Not Today?**
**Wednesday March 25th \| 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM**
**Venture X Loudoun**
Join us for a powerful resource presentation designed to help entrepreneurs move from scattered effort to sustainable momentum.
***
## **About the Session**
Entrepreneurs rarely struggle because they lack ideas.
They struggle because everything lives in their head.
In this session, **Leslie Kane**, founder of **Why Not Today?**, will explore how developing intentional systems creates clarity, focus, and forward progress in business.
Drawing from decades of leadership experience and working with hundreds of entrepreneurs, Leslie shares how structure reduces overwhelm, simplifies decision-making, and transforms inconsistent action into repeatable success.
If you’re building a business and constantly feeling stretched thin, this conversation will challenge you to ask a powerful question:
**Why not today?**
***
## **What You’ll Gain**
* Insight into why systems are critical for growth
* Practical perspective on turning ideas into structured action
* A framework for reducing overwhelm
* A mindset shift from reactive to intentional leadership
This is not about adding more to your plate — it’s about building the foundation that allows your business to grow without burning you out.
***
## **About 1 Million Cups**
1 Million Cups is a national program that brings entrepreneurs and communities together to learn, connect, and grow through conversation and collaboration. Loudoun’s chapter meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays each month.
Join us for coffee, connection, and a conversation that may completely change how you approach your business growth.
