This meetup is mainly about playing board games and making new friends in a relaxed and fun environment. Although this event is posted in a language exchange group, it is not focused on language exchange. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background or language level, as long as you enjoy games and socializing. I will be bringing several board games myself. If you’re curious about what games I have, or if there’s a specific game you’d like me to bring, feel free to message me in advance. You’re also welcome to bring your own favorite board games and teach others how to play—we’d love to learn new games together! The event will take place at a café, so please support the venue by purchasing food or drinks during the event. Let’s have fun while supporting a local café ☕🎲 Looking forward to playing games and enjoying a fun time together!

**What if it all works out? And how would that feel?** Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-if-it-all-works-out-a-vision-board-experience-tickets-1979195155990?aff=oddtdtcreator This Social Circuit gathering is a different kind of vision board experience - one that starts from the inside out. Instead of creating a traditional collage focused on goals and outcomes, we’ll explore the feeling of the life you’re becoming. Through art, mixed media, colour, texture, and conversation, you’ll be invited to embody your future self and express what becoming 2026 feels like, without pressure, planning, or perfection. This is a playful, embodied creative experience designed for connection. We’ll work in small groups, share stories, meet new people, and create a safe, open, and honest space to explore dreams, hopes, and even the quiet barriers that sometimes stand in the way of them. No artistic experience is needed. All art supplies are provided. Just bring an open mind, a brave heart, and a willingness to get a little messy. ✨ Think: art + conversation + connection ✨ No rigid goals, it's not an interview! ✨ Just messy dreams, honest expression, and becoming together 📍 Motto Motto Café - 300 Campbell Ave UNIT 101, Toronto, ON M6P 3V6 ☕ Drinks and food available for purchase at the café Come as you are. Leave a little more connected, to yourself and to others. Agenda: 6:00pm: Doors Open 6:00 - 6:30pm: Say hello to others and mingle 6:30 - 8:00pm: Conversation and creative experience 8:00 - 8:30pm: Let's make new friends, stay and chat! Accessibility: The venue is directly accessible from the sidewalk and is wheelchair accessible. If you have any accessibility needs or questions, please reach out to us in advance, we’re happy to support where we can. Parking: Paid parking available along Campbell Avenue. Community & Care This is an inclusive, welcoming event. We aim to create a space where people of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, and lived experiences feel respected, seen, and safe. This is not a workshop led by “experts.” We’re exploring, creating, and becoming together. This gathering includes small-group conversation and shared creative exploration. You’re always invited to participate at your own comfort level. You never have to share anything you don’t want to. Listening is just as valued as speaking. Our intention is to create a brave, kind, and supportive environment where curiosity, care, and mutual respect guide how we build community. We ask all attendees to be mindful of their own boundaries and to honor the boundaries of others. If the cost of this event is a barrier for your attendance, please contact us at socialcircuitca@gmail.com - we strive to make our events accessible and are happy to explore options together.

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.
