Independent Game Development

A friendly get together for people who like to play boardgames. You are welcome to join. We can converse in English or German. You may bring your own games or we have quite an extensive cupboard full of games you are welcome to use. There are always people who will explain games, so no need to worry. Just come. 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. Please note that we would like to ask for a small donation of CHF 2. We need to pay rent for the room.

Please feel free to check out our offerings - also for pickup in store: [https://www.cardmarket.com/en/StarWarsUnlimited/Users/kabooom-tcg](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.cardmarket.com/en/StarWarsUnlimited/Users/kabooom-tcg&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw3Brt0FnRZ91QVuAe4dg9jg) # Why Play Premier? * Build your deck using any of the cards from your own collection * Limitless combinations allow you to freely express your own playstyle and strategies * Premier is the primary format of Competitive-tier Organized Play events # Format Overview The primary format of *Star Wars™*: Unlimited, Premier is a constructed format that truly embodies the “unlimited” nature of the game by allowing you to build a deck using any of the cards in your collection. This means that you’ll be able to truly express yourself by crafting a deck that perfectly fits your preferred playstyle and strategies. The Premier format operates under the following rules: Your deck must consist of **exactly one leader**, **exactly one base**, and a **minimum 50-card draw deck**. You can also have a sideboard of up to 10 non-leader, non-base cards. Your draw deck **cannot include more than three copies of any one card**. In official Organized Play events, the winner of a Premier match is determined by **best-of-three** games in a **55-minute** round. While we understand every retail location is unique with various requirements, we encourage running your Premier events using these recommended tournament settings, but understand if you must change these settings to better suit your store's personal needs. # More Resources [Card Database](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://starwarsunlimited.com/cards&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1VdgUxv7xBvbDvAQr6--bC) [Build A Deck](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://starwarsunlimited.com/deck-builder&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw01xUr35w8vYCaWi-CesiXe) *[Star Wars](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://starwarsunlimited.com/organized-play%23links&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1NCPlMWgO2zMkUL7lnCI1j)*[: Unlimited Comprehensive Event Guide](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://starwarsunlimited.com/organized-play%23links&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1NCPlMWgO2zMkUL7lnCI1j) register here: [https://melee.gg/Tournament/View/400830](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://melee.gg/Tournament/View/400830&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw2hUbJ3q0Khx9OSxCznhHiu) **Follow us on:** Facekbook: [www.facebook.com/kabooom.comicshop](http://www.facebook.com/kabooom.comicshop) *Instagram:* [https://www.instagram.com/kabooom_comics/](https://www.instagram.com/kabooom_comics/) Join our Discord community: [https://discord.com/invite/XeEKXnk](https://discord.com/invite/XeEKXnk)

**Live stream and very limited on-site seats available.** **Please use the registration page to join:** **[REGISTRATION PAGE](https://content.software-leader.com/juval-talk-june-2026)** **Topic: Architect in the Age of AI** **In short:** AI code generation presents businesses with a critical challenge: how to benefit from AI code generation, while containing the cost of AI. By default, AI generates very complex code that is not reusable, and it lacks design integrity. The cost of ownership of this code could exceed by multiples the cost of human-generated code. Instead of gains, developers experience strains trying to understand what the AI has generated. Companies now transition from AI euphoria to AI spaghetti. Throttling back token spending does not address the underlying complexity. In this dense session Juval explains what AI is doing wrong, and what businesses are doing wrong trying to leverage AI. Juval will then discuss the crucial role of the architect in unleashing the productivity gains of AI, using the best practices of software engineering. You will see how to future-proof your career, how to avoid being a casualty of AI, and how to be indispensable to your business, saving it from out of-control AI spending and complexity. Juval Löwy is the founder of IDesign and a master software architect. Over the past 20 years, Juval has led the industry with some of his ideas such as microservices – serving as the foundation of software design and development. Juval has mentored thousands of architects across the globe, sharing his insights, techniques, and breakthroughs, and has helped hundreds of companies meet their commitments. Juval participated in the Microsoft internal strategic design reviews and is a frequent speaker at major international software development conferences. He is the author of several bestsellers, his latest book being Righting Software. **Host:** This free lecture is hosted by [Software Leader](https://www.software-leader.com). We help architects to become better technical leaders. **Live stream and very limited on-site seats available.** **Please use the registration page to join:** **[REGISTRATION PAGE](https://content.software-leader.com/juval-talk-june-2026)** Seats are limited. Therefore, kindly let us know in advance if you cannot make it. We look forward to seeing you at the free lecture.

*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.

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. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
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. 
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. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
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. 
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 haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
