Usually we meet at 18:30 and decide what we want to play. Usually we are able to fill 4-6 tables or more with different games. So you will certainly find something to your taste and likes.

Spieltreff Aarau
Spieltreff Aarau
Spielabend Alle zwei Wochen treffen sich Spielbegeisterte im „AHA“ in Aarau in ungezwungener Atmosphäre, um neue, beliebte, erwünschte und mitgenommene Spiele auszuprobieren. Die TeilnehmerInnen bezahlen zwei Franken ins Spielclub-Kässeli. Mitglieder Wer will, kann Spielclub-Mitglied werden, was 20 Fr. im Jahr kostet. Mitglieder dürfen an den Spielabenden zwei Spielen (je einem grossen und einem kleinen) einen Punkt auf der Wunschliste geben. Reicht das Geld im Spielclub-Kässeli, wird das punktreichste Spiel gekauft und kommt in die Spielekiste. Spielekiste Die Spielekiste steht jeden Spielabend zur Verfügung. Ist sie übervoll, wird für die Mitglieder ein Spielsonntag veranstaltet, an dessen Ende die Spiele bewertet werden. Die Spiele mit den wenigsten Punkte verlassen die Kiste (und werden den Teilnehmern geschenkt), und das Spiel mit den meisten Punkten wird zum neuen Turnierspiel.

Speed Dating Double Date Edition
⚠️[>>Ticket needed (click here)<<](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/dating/speed-dating/group-speed-dating-7409629803291143921.html)⚠️ **🧬 Smarter Matching with Social Circle** To ensure you’re meeting the right people, we use **[www.social-circle.app](http://www.social-circle.app/)** to curate our groups. By creating a profile, you help us organize the rotations based on **similar ages and shared interests.** We’re optimizing for chemistry before the night even begins! 📲 Join our WhatsApp chat to keep up with the event: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FoJN0DzRQgF232huSHiGOi](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FoJN0DzRQgF232huSHiGOi) (if you run into trouble open it in WhatsApp Web on your desktop) **Ages:** Mostly 25–40. (A 40–45 group will be added if interest allows!) 🕒 The Three Phases of the Night: **1\. The Deep Dive \(Soul\)** We kick things off in groups of four using our "Fast-Track Intimacy" cards. These aren't your typical icebreakers—expect questions that spark genuine stories and reveal the real person behind the profile. **2\. The Creative Canvas \(Play\)** 🎨 Time to get collaborative! Each group will take part in a drawing challenge. It’s hilarious, low-pressure, and the perfect way to see who shares your sense of humor while you co-create a "masterpiece." **3\. The Mingle \(Choice\)** 🍹 The structure drops, and the floor is yours. Use this time to grab a drink with that person who made you laugh in Round 2 or dive deeper with someone from Round 1. ✨ Why this is different: * **Small Groups:** Meeting in groups of four takes the "spotlight" off you, making it much easier to be yourself. * **Data-Driven Groups:** Your Social Circle profile ensures you spend the night with people you're actually likely to click with. * **Host-Guided:** We handle the transitions and the timers so you can just focus on having a good time. ✅ Included in your ticket: * Entry to our private event space. * All materials for the Creative Canvas round. * Access to the matching system and follow-up. 🚀 **How to Join:** 1. **Get your ticket** here on Eventfrog. 2. **Create your profile** at [www.social-circle.app](http://www.social-circle.app/). **(Mandatory - Enter the Group Speed Dating Event)** * *This is essential so we can place you in the best possible groups for your age and interests!* 3. **Show up** and let the day unfold. **Space is strictly limited to ensure a balanced ratio. Secure your spot today!** **Want more events like this? Join our newsletter : [https://chat.whatsapp.com/IN37htEEuH2Gdl73EQCqGV](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IN37htEEuH2Gdl73EQCqGV)** ​​P.S. Pictures might be taken during the event, if you do not want it please let the organizer know. Tickets are **non-refundable.**

Game Dev Working Session (Tysons-Pimmit VA Library Conference Room)
**Location**: Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library (Virginia) Conference Room A game development **Working Session** involves 3 key parts: 1. Tell people what you're going to do 2. Actually do stuff 3. Show people what you did That's what we'll be doing for this meeting. We'll briefly tell each other what we're going to do, then work on our projects, then at around 5:30 wrap up to show each other what we did and chat for a bit. You don't have to stay the whole time, so feel free to drop in and out as you have time. All game development skill levels welcome. Whether you're bringing a game you're trying to ship in a month, or you're just planning on following some tutorials or trying out a new tool to improve your skills, use this time to make progress. Working sessions also train you to think about the scope of your work: pick a chunk of work that you can complete in the time that we have. That way you can end the working session with a feeling of accomplishment! **What to bring**: Laptop, Charger, maybe a power strip if you have one handy, any other game development tools you need. Try to download any software you need before the working session. There is Wifi at this location, but it may be slow if you have to download any large files.
Learn & Play Go-Stop, a Korean Card Game
Learn & Play Go-Stop, a Korean Card Game
**FOR BEGINNERS** If you've ever seen Korean movies or K-dramas, you may have seen some characters play with small red cards decorated with flowers and animals. Those cards are called "hwatu" or flower cards. The most popular game played with hwatu is "Go-Stop". Come to the inaugural meeting of Hwatu Hangout, and learn how to play this awesome game. It can take some time to orient yourself with the cards and rules, but once you do, there's no turning back. It's major fun. **FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS** No Tazza-style deck rigging or hand chopping. Most importantly, no gambling. We may play with plastic chips to raise the faux stakes, but that's it! If you'd like to skip the lesson/demo, then please arrive at 2p for game play. **THE PLAN** **1:00p - 1:30p**: Learn how to play **1:30p - 2:00p**: Demo Game **2:00p - 4:00p**: Game play Before attending, please complete [this interest form](https://forms.gle/BNyZuZSZBzmDKQNA7). I will bring some hwatu decks, but please bring a deck if you have one. Questions? Send an email to hwatuhangout (at) gmail (dot) com Hope to see you there! Eunice
