The meetup is strictly for a maximum of persons as stated in the meetup so please register on the meetup event before.
Please follow the rules and hygiene concept from the community centre. Please do not bring outside drinks.

Blood on the Clocktower in Friedrichshain! (beginner/intermediate)
Hi folks, this is a special meetup group for the regular Blood on the Clocktower games every Sunday in the Brewdog in Berlin Friedrichshain. We run beginner-friendly and intermediate-level games throughout the afternoon and evening. **Friendly newcomers of all skill levels are welcome, no experience required!**
Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players donât take themselves or the game too seriously, whether theyâre heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration â âkilling with grace, and dying with dignityâ.
We are usually able to offer two simultaneous games on Sundays. If you are marked as "attending" in Meetup and are in your seat at 15:00, your place is guaranteed for as long as you want to stay. All other seats are first come, first served. We always run at least one beginner-friendly game of the basic version of Clocktower ("Trouble Brewing") throughout the afternoon and evening. We also usually have enough players for a second intermediate-level game. If you are already very familiar with Clocktower, consider also joining our Tuesday meetup for advanced players, when we play with complex custom scripts and characters.
Blood on the Clocktower is a deep, mechanical game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception⊠think Werewolf on steroids. Each player receives a unique secret role and plays either for the good team â the uninformed majority, gathering info and working with others to solve the puzzle â or the evil team, the informed minority, scheming to eliminate good players and protect their demon from execution. In our beginner games no prior experience is expected and we will gladly explain the game rules to any newcomers.
We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a âRevolutionaryâ pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case.
Spieltreff Spandau / Spandau Game Meeting
If you don't want to drive all the way through Berlin for a cozy game evening, then Spieltreff Spandau is the place for you! We play every Thursday from 6:30 p.m. in the Lebenshilfe Groenerstrasse storefront, or outside on the terrace when the weather is nice in summer. But you can also come later, because we usually play until at least 10 p.m., and there are always new rounds of the game.
Thanks to the support of numerous game publishers, we have various board, card and dice games available, but you can also bring your own games.
You can find the Spieltreff Spandau at Groenerstrasse 20 near Falkenseer Platz and Bismarckplatz. We are easy to reach by public transport and there are enough parking spaces in the area.
Admission is free, we are happy about a donation of 2 âŹ.
Spieltreff in Kreuzberg (Nachbarschaftshaus Urban)
We play any kind of board and card games. Most of them are german or language neutral games.
It doesn't matter if you are casual or core player. The main thing is to meet and have fun.
Bring your own game or choose one of about 150 games we have on site. You want to play a certain game you don't own, ask Björn (spielfest-berlin@email.de) if he can bring it or ask in the comments.
Please RSVP if you like to come. It makes things way easier to organize, if we know how big the boardgame-enjoying-crowd gonna be.
If the front door is locked, call Björn 0049157 746 300 78 or someone named on the door sign.
Entrance is 3⏠and can be paid on-site (prepay is not possible).
There will be snacks, tee, coffee and soft drinks for little money as well. Of course you can bring your own food/drinks as well.
No Animals allowed.

Productive Sunday Morning - Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all work welcome)
Hey everyone!
Iâm organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. đ
To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called âPomodoroâ technique:
**50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks.
Itâs an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique).
Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background.
I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-)
ââââââââââââââââââ-
AGENDA:
* **15min Intro**
* Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today
* **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...*
* ...**50min** of uninterrupted âdeep workâ (no talking, no interruptions, no phones)
* ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc.
* Repeat
* Conclude and celebrate your progress
Share your progress, socialise and get to know others đ
ââââ
We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there đ©”
**\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***
