The Friday Night Social: Meet People Over Board Games
**Don't spend another Friday night scrolling through your phone.**
While the rest of the city is stuck in the same old "dinner and a movie" routine, a whole community is gathering right here in Muwaileh to do something different. We are turning strangers into friends over dice, cards, and great food.
**The Mission: Meet New People & Play Board Games** This isn't just about gaming; it’s about connection. If you’ve been looking for a way to break out of your bubble and **meet new people** in a relaxed, low-pressure environment, this is it.
**What to Expect:**
* **The "Open Library" Access:** We are unlocking our massive collection of **board games**. Whether you want a laugh-out-loud party game or a deep strategy session, the choice is yours.
* **No Experience Needed:** Don't know the rules? No problem. We have plenty of easy-to-learn games, and our community is super welcoming to beginners.
* **Solo or Group:** Most people come alone! Our host will greet you, introduce you to the group, and get you seated at a table immediately.
**The FOMO Reality:** Every Friday you skip is a night of laughter and new connections you won’t get back. Don't be the one watching our Instagram stories from your couch wishing you had come out.
**The Details:**
* **Entry:** Free Entry. (We just ask that you support the venue by ordering dinner or drinks while you play).
* **Time:** 8:00 PM onwards.
* **Location:** Game Knights Cafe, Muwaileh.

Play Cashflow 101
According to Robert Kiyosaki author of best-selling "Rich Dad Poor Dad," wealth is measured by the number of days the income from your assets that will sustain you. The longer you can live without working, the wealthier you are.
You can become financially independent by learning how to produce passive, residue income through your assets that exceed your total expenses. Thus, freeing wasted time from working for money to having more time to be wealthier, being with your family, or doing the things you're passionate about and living the life of your dreams. You can achieve this by learning how to play cashflow 101, and learn how to have money work for you instead of working for money.
Cashflow 101 is an educational board game that teaches people how to raise their financial I.Q. quickly & easily, what the rich teach their kids about money and how anyone can become rich and financially free even on a small salary.
If you continue doing what you've always been doing and not changing or doing anything outside of your job, you can never be financially free. Your bills and expenses will continue to increase and never go away. Therefore, it will consume you and you will remain in the rat race running in circles for the rest of your life. All you will ever do is work to pay bills until you decide to make a change in your life to do something different.
Come play the famous Cashflow game created by Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the best-selling Rich Dad Poor Dad book that changed millions of people's mindsets towards money!
This is just a casual game for anyone who wants to learn, have some fun, and meet new like-minded people.

Join us at The Dubai Cashflow Club for an exciting afternoon of the Cashflow game, where you can learn and apply strategic financial principles in a fun and dynamic setting.

During the game, you will navigate through real estate deals, manage your cash flow, and make investment decisions. The objective is not only to win the game but also to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge that can be applied to your personal financial goals. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced investor, this event offers a great opportunity to network, learn from others, and sharpen your financial skills.
Don't miss out on this chance to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for financial education, self-improvement, and building wealth. Join us for an afternoon of fun, team building, and learning as we work towards achieving our financial goals together.

Sunday funday: let's play dodgeball at Scioto Audubon park
Dodgeball is back again!
If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed.
We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play.
If it rains, the event will be canceled.
I'd like to buy a vowel!! 📺 🤩 💵 🥳 🇺🇸 😄
**Summary**
We will play TV-style game shows at [Game Show Battle Rooms](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/columbus/) ("GSBR"). These will include *Family Feud*, *Wheel of Fortune*, and *The Price is Right*, and we will play them over the course of an hour.
We ran this event for the second time back in October, and it was an even bigger hit than it was the first time we ran it the February prior. GSBR has nearly 10,000 reviews on Google and a 5-star rating. If there were any event where you were just about guaranteed to have a good time, it's this one.
GSBR changes their questions and answers every month, so if you attended in October (or even if you went with another group as recently as April), you will not see any of the same questions you saw before.
**The Date and Time of This Event**
Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. However, if someone books the 3:00 p.m. time before I do (meaning before I have enough paid attendees), well, that's the way the cookie crumbles and we'll have to move to Plan B.
That might involve trying for either one of GSBR's 1:30 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. slots, or just cancelling the Meetup altogether. We'll cross that bridge if we get to it, but be aware of these possibilities.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to whatever our actual showtime ends up being. (Hence, this meetup's 2:45 p.m. start time.)
**Cost**
The cost to play, per person, is $36.95 plus 8% sales tax of $2.96, plus a refundable 8% gratuity of $2.96 (see the next section for more details), for a total cost of $42.86 per person.
**Mandatory Gratuity (If 20+ Participants)**
If we have 20 or more participants in this event, GSBR will assess a mandatory gratuity of 8%, or $2.96 per person. If we have 20 or more attendees, GSBR will give our group an extra 15 minutes of playing time.
I am collecting the gratuity up-front to prepare for the case in which we have at least 20 people. However, in the event that we do not, I will refund this $2.96 to you.
In the event we have fewer than 20 people and your gratuity is refunded, your cost for the event will end up being $39.91 (instead of $42.86).
I will say more below on the actual exchange of money for this event.
**Drinks**
GSBR does allow beverages into the game room, and they also sell some on-site. These include bottled water, soft drinks, and some alcoholic beverages. You can bring your own bottled water, too, if you want.
**Cancellations and Refunds**
Per GSBR's [website](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/questions/): *If you cancel your show 5 or more days in advance of your booking time, you will receive a full refund.*
*You may reduce the number of tickets and receive a refund if you provide at least 5-days’ notice.*
More on this in a moment.
**Number of Participants**
GSBR does not run events for fewer than 6 people. I will not purchase tickets for this event with fewer than 10 paid, and I will not send out a solicitation for money without at least 12 signed up for this Meetup.
More on this below.
**The Actual Exchange of Money**
Tickets for GSBR events are not purchased piecemeal. I will need to book our GSBR event as a bloc. This means that everyone will need to send me his or her entrance fee via either Venmo or Paypal prior to me booking our time. Anyone failing to send me his or her money will be removed by me from this event.
Once 12+ people are signed up here for this Meetup, I will send out a DM through the Meetup messaging system to those 12+ participants with my Venmo/Paypal information. You will then have 72 hours to wire me your share of the money. After 72 hours, if I don't have money from you, I'll remove you from event.
If I don't have money from at least 10 people, I'll refund everyone's money, and we'll either re-start the process or I'll just cancel the event. I'm not going to book any event with GSBR unless I'm reasonably certain we're going to be able to run it.
Assuming I have money from 10+ people, then I will book the event through GSBR's website.
If you decide to cancel and you want a refund, you ***must*** give me time to contact GSBR with at least 5 days notice. Since the date of this event is Saturday, June 27, you have to let me know not later than Sunday, June 21, to allow me time to call GSBR not later than Monday, June 22, in order to get a refund for your share.
Once I have confirmation from GSBR for the refund, I will Venmo/Paypal the money back to you immediately from my account. (There will probably be a 3-5 day delay before GSBR actually processes the refund, but I will absorb the cost of the float and get your money back to you right away.)
**"Hey, Eric! I just saw this event! Can I sign up late?"**
Yes, but you still need to Venmo/Paypal your share of the booking fee to me, which will be $40.55. If I don't get it within 72 hours after you sign up (or time permitting for me to book you in with GSBR if you sign up last-minute), then I'll remove you from the event.
**Mandatory GSBR Waiver Requirement**
GSBR policies *require* that each attendee signs a liability waiver prior to the event. You can find the waiver [here](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/questions/) (on the right-hand side toward the bottom of the page under the section "Do I Need To Sign A Waiver Form?"), and you should also be able to skip directly to the form [here](https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5c473bb934d6a/web/).
*You must fill out this waver in order to participate in the event*. The form is short and this really shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes, but please send me a DM if you have any issues filling out the document.
**Denouement**
Afterward, for those who are interested, we'll drown our sorrows or celebrate our exultations at [Crooked Can Brewing](https://crookedcanohio.com/) in Hilliard. They also have extensive food options. The actual address of the brewery is [5354 Center St, 43026](https://www.google.com/maps/place/5354+Center+St,+Hilliard,+OH+43026/@40.0339813,-83.1623519,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x883893f9f30108a7:0xbe4c8919aa69e3e7!8m2!3d40.0344541!4d-83.1598828!16s%2Fg%2F11gxsh9f_0?entry=ttu).
Learn to Play Pickleball: beginner & Intermediate drills
Want to learn pickleball in a fun, low-pressure setting? I’m hosting a free beginner-friendly meetup at Olentangy Parklands to help new players learn the basics and get comfortable on the court.
I’m a pretty skilled player and will walk everyone through the essentials, including rules, scoring, serving, basic strategy, and how to start playing real games. No experience needed.
We’ll meet on the upper courts.
Bring a pickleball paddle if you have one. If not, no problem, I’ll have some extras available for people to use.
This event is meant for beginners and anyone curious about trying pickleball for the first time. Come ready to move, learn, and have fun.
Game Dev Meetup (@Improving In-Person)
