Spiele die z.B. auf den Tisch kommen: Flügelschlag, Dune Imperium, Die Weisse Burg, Harmonies, 7Wonders Auf Grund des begrenzten Platzes meldet euch bitte per Email an. Das aktuelle Monatsthema könnt ihr auch per Email erfragen: [meeplemoabit@gmx.de](mailto:meeplemoabit@gmx.de) Eintritt und Getränke auf Spendenbasis.

The app gives you conversation starters based on what you have in common. **📍 Location:** Online (Link will be sent to attendees). **Price:** Free for early adopters. **Note:** This is a live, synchronized event. Please only RSVP if you intend to be online at 19:00 CET this Friday!
