Puerto Rico Boardgame

Please read everything 🙏 Hello and welcome to our event 🙂 This meeting is part of regular meetings organized by (Board-games-in-Vienna) every Tuesday and Friday at 06:00 PM Let's set a few points first: ● The language of this meeting is English! ● Please come on time otherwise you have to wait ! ● Call this number if you can't find us: +436767401074 (also WhatsApp) The event: 🎲 If you're a fan of playing board games that takes about 60-90 minutes, this meeting is for you 🙂 **We also play shorter games sometimes.** Examples for what kind of games we play : Brass Birmingham, Terraforming Mars, Viticulture essential edition, Architects of the West Kingdom, Concordia, and many other new games. All the mentioned games are just examples, and we're not necessarily going to play the exact games. The system: 📒 You can join us to play a game with someone, or/and you're also welcome to bring and explain your games to the others. Feel free to ask for any game available in our collection (the link below) we will provide it for you and help with the rules based on availability https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/Aymantaha?own=1&subtype=boardgame&ff=1 The location: 📍 Simmeringer Hauptstrass 36/Siege 15 **(Zippererstrasse U3)** 1110 Wien https://maps.app.goo.gl/ptMbnWweFVPd8saZ7 We will be playing in the common room at my building (a room with many tables and good lighting), so feel free to bring any drinks or snacks for yourself. The cost: 💰 **A contribution of €1 per player** will be collected to cover the room cost and maintenance for the event, but on the bright side, you get to bring your food and drinks with you, and this is by far cheaper than going to a free event but still need to order something at the coffee shop 🙃 Please only sign up if you attend to come and play.

Join our monthly “Queer Kegelabend”, which is mostly a pure fun event with a slight sportive touch. No previous experience required. Beginners and all genders most welcome! It is our ambition to welcome a broadly diversified crowd! Your own omfortable footwear might contribute to an enjoyable evening. **Schedule:** 1. 19:20 Get together 2. 19:25 Instructions (including safety), line-up of participants 3. 19:30 Getting started * *Latecomers unfortunately can´t be admitted.* * *Please bring a few EUR 1 coins to keep the coin operated machinery going.* There is no drinks or food service in the basement (Kegelbahn) of Café Weidinger. So feel free to order something on arrival and take it downstairs before we get started. Alternatively bring your own drinks or food. Yes, this is possible! Its chatting, meeting (new) people, catching-up with the ones you might already know from our monthly MeetUps at the HIVE or other events. Communication is key, like always. Let’s enjoy a nice evening together with a modest sportive touch on the side! **Please show respect to the others and arrive on time.** As we need to line-up the players before getting starteted, hence late comers unfortunately can´t be admitted. **What is skittles play (Kegeln)?** Skittles play has a very long tradition in Europe and is the game before the Americans "invented" bowling. So we will play with 9 pins and smaller balls with less weight compared to bowling. **Costs:** To rent the skittle alley is just EUR 8 per hour for the whole group. We will divide costs by the number of participants. So expect a contribution of around *EUR 2-3 for the whole evening*. The number of participants is limited. The machinery of the skittle alley is coin operated and accepts EUR 1 coins only. So please bring along a few EUR 1 coins to keep the machinery going! **Participation Fee:** To help cover the Meetup maintenance fee, we recommend a donation of 1-2 Euros directly to the organizers. **Results:** The results of the evening (Igo is so kind to count the scores and enters theses for each participant in a spreadsheet) are published in the "pictures" area of the MeetUp. Historic results are availble there. **Cafe Weidinger** has not been renovated over the last at least 50 years. The skittles alley dates from 1964. You can feel this "special flair". A bit shaby, but inexpensive fun for a whole evening. It´s almost a museum of a skittles alley. **The difference between bowling and skittles play**: * The bowling lanes are covered with an oil film, the skittles lane is not. * In bowling, the ball is is considerably larger and heavier. * Bowling lanes are slightly curved, our lane is flat. * Bowling balls have three holes, our balls have none, one or two. Most of our balls have two holes. * Nine pins are thrown instead of ten. * In bowling, the pins are set up by so-called pin-setter machines and therefore stand freely in contrast to skittles, where the pins hang from strings. * Our skittles lane is an asphalt lane. * You do not need to rent or bring special shoes llike for bowling. But to play in sneakers or sportive footwear is more comfortable.

Join us for **Indoor** Padel at Padelzone Floridsdorf. **How we play**? Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Players are welcome. Number of courts depends on the number of players. * 4-5 players: one court * 8-10 players: two courts * 12-14 players: three courts **Price** * between 17-20 € for 2h depending of number of players * I use the money to cover the costs for the court, balls and rackets. * You can pay via Revolut, PayPal, instant Bank Transfer or Cash. I prefer transfer over cash. **Equipment** * I provide balls (usually Bullpadel Next) * If you need a racket, you can rent it from me for 2 € (limited number available). There is also a machine at the venue, where you can rent a racket for 4 € (you need *SportToGo* App to rent from them) **Cancellation** * Please cancel at least 26h before the event, if nobody is on wait list. Otherwise you have to pay a 10 € late cancellation fee. * If people are on wait list, please cancel 10h before the event. Otherwise you have to pay a 10 € late cancellation fee. * Late Cancellation fees will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières (Ärzte ohne Grenzen). * I understand that sometimes unexpected things can come up. However, not showing up and failing to let me know is considered disrespectful and goes against the Meetup community spirit. You still have to pay the full event fee in such cases. **Important** * Playing competitive is allowed (Smashing balls, hitting balls close to opponent player etc.) * We still value fair play and sportsmanship. * Having fun together is way more important as winning. **Other information** * We are respectful and warm with each other. Our cultural and professional background is diverse * The host or regular players can ask misbehaving players to step out from the court * The host and regular players are entitled to send players to different courts to have balanced teams * The venue has changing rooms and showers free of charge * If you come by car, make sure that you park at Padelzone and NOT at Marco Polo Sportscenter * If you have questions, you can send me a message any time. I speak german too.

**THIS SHOW IS NOW SOLD OUT (NEXT TRUE STORY NIGHTS 14TH JAN).** The hugely popular TRUE STORY NIGHTS from Vienna Storytelling Collective have a pre-Christmas show December 19th 2025 to continue its 4th year of monthly sold out shows at the grand Volkstheater Rote Bar. These exciting storytelling evenings sell out early at Volkstheater, so we are posting it now (before the line up is finalised) so Vienna Storytelling Collective members don't miss out. We have been bringing you a different line up of performers each month, with surprising, moving, hilarious and sometimes shockingly true stories. Your host as ever is Turan Ali, producer of BBC drama/comedy, who welcomes you to a rollercoaster evening of gripping, high quality true stories – some from Vienna. Our ever-changing quartet of storytellers for each show includes novelists, comedians, radio, TV and film professionals, screenplay writers, performance poets, singer-songwriters and theatre-makers. It feels like being the priest at a confessional, hearing such personal revelations …. but you don’t need to keep all these a secret! WHAT THE AUDIENCES HAVE SAID: “Exhilarating”, “A brilliant evening every time”, “Funny and very moving”, “Incredible stories!” True stories guaranteed to astonish, amuse or amaze you with their honesty. The line-up for our December 19th 2025 TRUE STORY NIGHTS is Turan Ali, Anna Esterbauer, Jacob Liss and Bryan Benner. **Turan Ali** has been producing, directing and writing BBC Radio dramas, comedies and documentaries for 25+ years. He’s the creator/host/producer of *True Story Nights*. He has Austrian/Turkish parents, has been an on-stage storyteller since 2012 and a stand-up since 2021. Recent tours include a 5 star run of his *Queer Folks’ Tales* show at Edinburgh Fringe, plus his solo show *Straight Talking* in Czechia, Istanbul, Cyprus & the UK. He won Creative Edinburgh’s Leadership Award 2024. **Jacob Liss** is an American stand-up comedian, actor, musician and non-binary entertainer.

Her stories focus on the lives of women and the contradictions surrounding all of us, plus many stories of her typical, yet not so typical, Austrian family. **Bryan Benner** is a Florida-born singer, guitarist, poet, songwriter based in Vienna who’s performed all over Europe for 20+ years, including Vienna’s Musikverein and Wiener Konzerthaus.

We know that meeting new people in Vienna’s Meetup scene can feel a bit repetitive. While different hosts and formats exist, you often end up seeing the same faces. That’s why we’re shaking things up! We’ve teamed up with The Golden Harp 1090 and Luki’s Pub Quiz to bring you an exciting new Board Game Night - one that goes beyond Meetup and expands your social circle even further! 📅 Every Sunday, 4-9PM but you can stay and play until the restaurant closes. 📍 The Golden Harp Alsergrund (Alserbachstraße 37, 1090 Wien). Join us for an evening of fun, laughter, and great company. Whether you’re a board game enthusiast or just looking to meet new people in a relaxed setting, this is the perfect event for you! Plus, you can order delicious food and drinks right at the venue while you play. Come for the games, stay for the connections, and make Vienna feel even more like home. See you there! Please note that this free event is made possible through the generous support of the restaurant. In order to maintain a strong partnership and continue offering events like this at no cost, we kindly ask that all attendees support the venue by placing an order during their visit. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

This is a unique opportunity to play on one of the finest concert grands there is, an 1887 Steinway D, carefully restored to perfection.

This is a privately organized meetup in the studio of clavierhaus.at in Hernals that provides the location, the piano and the recording equipment.
