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.

[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.

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!

Silent Walk in the ForĂȘt de Soignes
We will be walking through the forest for a little over 1 1/2 hours, silently, just noticing the world around us and inside us. The idea is to experience the magic of a different type of walking, The invitation is to slow down and notice what is going on inside you and around you.
Very often people experience a closer connection with nature and with self, with sometimes surprising insights.
*Please make sure you are fit enough to go the 4.5 km distance. We will be walking slowly, but we will not take any breaks.*
We will be meeting at the Hermann Debroux Metro at **14h**. (Exit straight ahead after leaving the platform--on the Loxam side).
If you RSVP as coming, please be on time. We will be starting our walk from there 5 min. after the hour sharp.
There is the renovated Maison de Prieur at the exit of the forest where we could gather for a drink or a meal after our walk, depending on what you feel like.
Looking forward to an inward adventure? Come and join us on **Saturday, April 25, at 14h**

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.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
â©We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
â©Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
â©Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
â©Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 WondersâŠ
â©Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, WerewordsâŠ
â©IMPORTANT:
â©1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
â©2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you havenât come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
