Afterwork Session : Scythe with modular board
Scythe is an engine-building game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor. In Scythe, each player represents a character from one of five factions of Eastern Europe who are attempting to earn their fortune and claim their faction's stake in the land around the mysterious Factory. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous mechs.
Scythe gives players almost complete control over their fate. Other than each playerâs individual hidden objective card, the only elements of luck or variability are âencounterâ cards that players will draw as they interact with the citizens of newly explored lands. Each encounter card provides the player with several options, allowing them to mitigate the luck of the draw through their selection.

BEL Vue - Meetup Q2 April 2026
Ready to teach your Vue apps some new tricks? For our first meetup of 2026, weâre heading to the offices of [Leexi.ai](https://www.leexi.ai/en/) đ
Weâve moved past simple components, it looks like the focus will be AI-related.
Weâve lined up two heavy hitters to show us how Vue and Nuxt are becoming the backbone of the AI era. Whether youâre building the next smart editor or trying to make AI agents actually do what theyâre told, this is the place to be.
Will the AI write the code for us while we drink a beer? Probably not yet, but come find out how close weâre getting!
đ
Date: Thursday, April 23, 2026
đ Time: 18:00 â 21:00
đ Location: Leexi.ai
Av. Herrmann-Debroux 2/étage 1, 1160 Auderghem, Belgique
\* Parking: There's a huge car park nearby in front of a Carrefour hypermarket ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/MrfzTTkWr8NQxCDJA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MrfzTTkWr8NQxCDJA)).
There's also many parking places under the Auderguem Viaduc which is in front of the office.
\* Metro: Herman Debroux metro station in front of the office.
**18.00 - Doors (Food & Drinks!)**
**19.00 - Talk 1:**
**By:** [Patricio Castillo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricio-castillo-tech/) â Co\-Founder @ Prodi \| ex\-Nokia
**Title:** Crafting Intelligent Editors: Building with Nuxt, Tiptap, and LLMs
**Description:** LLMs are built on text, which means the text editor isn't going anywhere, itâs evolving.
The challenge is building a custom editor that actively collaborates with the user to append, edit, and review content in real-time.
In this talk, Iâll dive into the architecture of the interactive editor we build at Prodi. Using Nuxt and Tiptap, Iâll show how we bridged the gap between a headless editor and Large Language Models
**19.45 - Talk 2:**
**By:** [Davy Engone](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davyengone/) â AI Engineer & Founder at Hackages
**Title:** How to Build Reliable AI Agents with Vue/AI-SDK
**Description:** AI agents are easy to demo but much harder to make reliable. In this talk, Davy explores the foundations of building reliable AI agents, covering tool calling, agent loops, context management, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop design. A practical session for developers who want to move beyond prompting and better understand how real-world agent systems are built. We will use VueJS and Vercel AI SDK for Vue.
**20.15 - Networking & Knowledge sharing**
Got any cool Vue.js projects? Be sure to bring them along or let us know online!

[Afterwork Session] Speakeasy
[How to Play](https://youtu.be/xShivFRxmgE?is=PcgKoFQvcyX_M2FU)
[Gameplay](https://youtu.be/hopiSHqQ3VI?is=y39pTo-rje7spM0S)
Speakeasy will transport you to the roaring 1920s during the era of Prohibition. Manhattan was under the firm control of Lucky Luciano, a prominent mobster. To strengthen his grip on the territory, he implemented a well-structured system. He divided Manhattan into different districts, each assigned to a specific mobster responsible for handling their "business" operations.
The ultimate goal is simple: accumulate the most money and become the most successful mobster in the city. Do you have what it takes to rise to the top of the speakeasy scene and take over Manhattan during Prohibition? It's time to grab your fedora and find out in Speakeasy.

Youâre welcome to come alone or with guests, meet new people, and just enjoy the atmosphere if thatâs what you need.

* Meeting point: Gare centrale Bruxelles, train departs 9.12 to Hasselt.
* Duration: You're free to leave whenever you feel like it
* Bring: Comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing
* Optional: water, tea, or something small to share
No pressure, no performance. Just a good moment.

Football match at Parc du Cinquantenaire
If you have a ball, please bring it...
Let's gather at the Parc du Cinquantenaire close to the Tour de Tournai (https://goo.gl/maps/RsxFtTJydq92) and organize a *low-level* football match on the grass. Unless it rains badly as we're about to play, the game is on.
Players of any age, weight, sex and size are allowed. Come as you are, at any time after 4pm.
IMPORTANT REMINDER -- As Shitty Players, we don't bite or growl when someone misses the ball. We don't do penalties or yellow cards because we're so gentle we don't need them. We vaguely know of the existence of other rules like off-side but we'd rather ignore them than argue about them. We may or may not keep track of the score: this is a game where everyone wins.
To help build the Team, come with 2 t-shirts white and black (or similar colors: light grey and dark blue etc). Beer session will follow on the grass, for those who survive till the end.

Deep Conversation - Question Chosen in Session
Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you!
After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations.
Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy:
What is a genuine friend?
Is social media turning us into emotional zombies?
Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them?
Are we driven by sex?
Is loneliness a personal failure?
Is morality relative?
**Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.

Version Control for Unity
This meetup is a beginner-friendly session introducing version control for Unity projects, with a look at three common tools: Git, Perforce, and Unity Version Control. The goal is to help you understand what version control is, why it matters for Unity development, and what options are out there.
The format will likely be presentation-style, with live demos and time for questions throughout. You'll see each tool in action and learn how they fit into a Unity workflow.
What to Expect:
* An introduction to version control and why it's essential for Unity projects
* An overview of Git, Perforce, and Unity Version Control
* Demos of each tool in a Unity workflow
* Tips for getting started
* No prior version control experience required
* Resources for continued learning
All experience levels are welcome. Whether you're new to version control or already using one of these tools, this session will help you understand what each one offers.
Food and drinks provided. Join us to learn more about version control options for Unity.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
