El Picnic Español 🌳🌶️
¡Ey, qué tal!
¿Crees que podrías sobrevivir solo con tu español? Vamos a ponerlo a prueba con un picnic 🧺 en el parque.🌳
📍Dónde:
Cinquantenaire, "Tour de Tournai" (búscalo en google maps).
💡La idea:
Empezamos con una mini intro y luego hablamos de todo: actividades, viajes, música… Y si tienes ganas, ¡jugamos a algo! Todo en español, así que ¡prepárate para la inmersión! Dependiendo de cuántos seamos, podemos dividirnos por niveles para que todos disfruten al máximo.
🎲 Juegos:
Juegos rápidos y divertidos (tipo UNO o Exploding Kittens), también algo para moverse un poco el cuerpo (bádminton, pétanque, lo que apetezca 😄). Yo llevaré unos, pero si tienes alguno que te guste, tráelo sin miedo. Eso sí, los juegos con texto, ¡en español!
⏱ Horarios:
Empezamos a las 14:00, pero si llegas más tarde, no pasa nada, te unes cuando quieras y te quedas el rato que quieras.
🚦Lista de espera
¡No existe! 😄
📢 Más info se puede compartir en el chat o por DM —asegúrate de revisar tus mensajes el día antes para no perderte nada crítico .
🐈⬛ El Código de los Amigos:
Nada de formalidades – aquí venimos a divertirnos
Respeto y buena onda – si no,
¡¿Los errores?! ¡Nos dan igual! Y si algo se complica, volvemos a lo que conocemos mejor: 💃🎭🎸
¡Hasta luego!

See you there 💫
Saturday Board Game Night
Hello and welcome. We'll be playing some good games suited for newcomers and old members alike. Examples of games that we might play on an evening like this include: Diamant, Metro, Courtisans, Trails, Camel Up, Sushi Go, Spooks, Welcome To..., Between 2 Cities, Cartographers, Reptile Tank, and much more.
If you're new and none of these titles mean anything to you, don't worry! These games are pretty easy to pick up as you play. And if you have a short and easy-going game you'd like to play, bring it along and we might play it.
Hope to see you then!
\~\~\~
**FAQ** for new members
"Do I have to RSVP?"
Yes, please. It helps us anticipate how many people are coming and consequently how many games we'll need.
"Can I just join you in playing games?"
Yes, absolutely.
"Is there a fee?"
No, it's free to join and play. However, please get at least one drink from the bar, as the hostel provides this space to us for free with the expectation that people buy drinks from them.
"What kind of games do you play?
"
Most games in our collection are light to medium-ish in complexity, fairly short, and pretty easy to pick up once you know the rules. We don’t tend to play heavy eurogames or wargames as they take up too much time and often require an explanation of an hour or more. We also don’t tend to play party games.
"Do the games belong to the hostel?"
Nope! All of the games present are owned by members who bring games along from their own private collections. Please be sure to treat every game with care and respect.
"How do I know which games you're going to play and which I can join?"
We'll usually loosely mill around and decide on games on the moment, depending on who takes the initiative, so it really depends on what's available to us and who wants to play which game. Generally, we'll split up in groups, play a game or two, reconvene, and split up in different groups to play a different game.
"Do I have to have experience in playing games?"
No, usually we'll play some pretty easy-to-learn games that you'll get the hang of in no time. And should you get a taste for slightly more complex games, we have those too!
"Can I bring a game of my own?"
Yes, absolutely. Just maybe don't bring games that are too complex and might take more than 1 hour to play. Also, don't bring Cards Against Humanity.
"Should I bring snacks for everybody?"
No, but thank you for offering!
"Can I bring snacks and drinks for myself?"
You can bring your own food into the hostel but, as mentioned, they do expect us to buy our drinks at the bar. Also, they appreciate it if we clean up after ourselves, i.e. bring back empty glasses and bottles to the bar, put back chairs in their place, throw away trash, etc...
"Do I have to speak English?"
We prefer it if you could because not everyone in the group speaks Dutch fluently but we're pretty relaxed about it so don't worry too much if you're not that confident in your English speaking skills.
"Do you do this every week?
"
Yes. We haven’t missed a board game night since 1977!
"Can the Eye see me?"
Yes, the Eye sees ALL, but don't worry, it's pretty benign and just wants to know if you're winning or not.

**THE STRUCTURE of THE EVENT:**
* I will post the event on Saturday/Sunday evening for the following Saturday.

* If you have any questions then, message me.
***
**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.*
*Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.*
*I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.*
*In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.*
**THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**

🌳 Heatwave Escape: Cool Forest Walk & Hidden Ponds
**🌡️ Heatwave Special:** We've deliberately scheduled this walk for **16:30**, after the hottest part of the day, and chosen a shorter, mostly shaded route through the Sonian Forest to make it as comfortable as possible while still enjoying nature together.
**This event is free for Sunday Vacations members. Membership starts at €5/year.**
👉 Join here: [https://www.sundayvacations.com](https://www.sundayvacations.com/membership)
*Please RSVP only if you are reasonably sure you can attend and update your RSVP if your plans change.*
**🌍 Sunday Vacations Community Event**
## Escape the city. Find some shade. Meet great people.
With temperatures soaring this week, let's swap hot streets for cool forest paths.
Join Sunday Vacations for a refreshing late-afternoon walk through one of Brussels' most beautiful natural areas. We'll explore the peaceful Vuylbeek Valley, where dense beech trees, quiet ponds and shaded trails create one of the city's most refreshing places to spend a summer evening.
Starting later in the day allows us to avoid the hottest hours while enjoying the forest at its most peaceful.
This is an easy, relaxed walk designed for conversation, fresh air and good company—not for speed or endurance.
Whether you're new to Brussels, an expat looking to meet people, or simply craving a nature break after work, everyone is welcome.
Because the best way to end a hot day is under the trees.
# 🌳 The Experience
We'll follow a short and scenic route through the heart of the Sonian Forest, passing peaceful ponds, woodland trails and small streams.
Thanks to its dense tree canopy and extensive greenery, the Sonian Forest is one of Brussels' natural cooling areas, often feeling noticeably fresher than the city centre on warm days.
We'll walk at a relaxed pace with plenty of opportunities to chat, take photos and simply enjoy being outdoors.
Afterwards, anyone who wishes can join for a drink or a bite nearby.
# 📍 Walk Details
🥾 **Distance:** Approximately **4 - 5 km** *(easy social walk)*
⏱️ **Duration:** Around **1.5 hours**
📈 **Difficulty:** Easy
🌳 Mostly shaded forest paths
💧 Ponds & woodland scenery
👟 Suitable for everyone with normal fitness

Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/
=======================================
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Food and drinks will be available.

Unity GameDev Hangout (Topic TBD)
*We'll update this with the specific topic(s) once they're set for the month.*
A relaxed, community-driven Unity GameDev meetup. No strict agenda — just developers getting together to talk shop, share projects, and exchange ideas.
Some topics that may come up (based on attendee interest):
* Frame Debugger & performance tooling
* Addressables & additive scene workflows
* Input System, localization, responsive UI
* AI integration approaches
* DevOps & LiveOps experiences
* Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing
* Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems
* Weird Unity quirks we've all run into
Nothing is locked in. Bring a project if you'd like, bring a question, bring a lesson learned — or just come hang out and meet other developers.
All skill levels welcome. Food and drinks provided.
Board games at The Forge (theme night: unplayed games)
This week is national unplayed games week, so we encourage you to break out those shrink-wrapped games you bought on a whim but haven't had a chance to try yet. Do your best to learn the game ahead of time to facilitate the process! let's get those dusty ones to the table!
The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area.
Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
