**Welcome to our March UX Beers in Antwerp!** This time, we will host our event on Tuesday the 31st of March with [Dashdot](https://dashdot.be) at Plein Magazijn in Antwerp.

No roadmap. No procurement cycle. No feature request backlog. Just solve the problem. Thanks to vibe-coding, building software is becoming accessible to the people who actually experience the friction. Instead of waiting months for a feature or adapting your workflow to a generic tool, you create something that fits your problem, your process, and your team. Tools like Lovable make that possible. And this shift is bigger than it may seem. This isn’t really about a waffle charts generator or poster tiling tools. It’s about what happens when building software on demand becomes normal. When the people closest to the problem can create the solution, exactly when they need it. **Talk 2:** Digital inclusion in public transport Sjoera Roggeman Public transport is a fundamental service that should be available to everyone. But as services become increasingly digital, there is a real risk of excluding people who are less digitally confident, or have specific needs for using digital products. That’s why De Lijn implemented an “easy mode” within the existing app, a simplified interface that reduces complexity and makes key tasks more straightforward and intuitive. In this talk, Sjoera will walk you through the design process from start to end, and share her learnings and challenges as a UX designer on this project. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \#\#\# SCHEDULE 18:00 - Doors open.

**Disclaimer**: in case less then 4 players join, this game will be replaced by *Castle Combo*. The trick-taking game ***Tax the Rich*** features a deck depicting characters of various social ranks from the Poor to the President. Each round begins with a simple bidding phase to determine both the trump color and the number of tricks required to score bonus points. The winner of the bid must then acquire the required number of tricks, together with their ally. The game is played as a trick-taking game in which the highest social ranks are the strongest cards. However, if at any time all remaining cards in your hand have a flag symbol, you may trigger a "revolution" by revealing your cards. This flips the social hierarchy upside down so that the lowest-ranked cards become the most powerful. Having called for a revolution, you stand publicly exposed, playing the rest of this round with your cards face up.

***Spring is back in Brussels, and this time we’re celebrating*** **Easter Sunday properly**: a garden BBQ, shared food, sun, and a table that actually brings people together. This event is about the **spirit of Easter**: renewal, sharing, generosity, and sitting down with others to enjoy real food and real conversation. You don’t need to be religious. You don’t need to believe anything. You just need to show up with the right mindset. **Everyone is welcome — all backgrounds, all cultures, all beliefs.** **The vibe** Backyard BBQ, relaxed but intentional Sharing food, stories, and cultures Conversations that move freely between languages **Food philosophy (important)** Easter is about **sharing and abundance**, not convenience. We strongly prefer **homemade food to share**. This is how you bring something meaningful to the table. Let’s be honest: **sad last-minute supermarket food has nothing to do with Easter values.** If you cook, cook something real; something your mama would cook. If you don’t cook, don’t compensate with low-effort junk. **If you cannot cook:** **You can still fully participate by contributing to the food preparation** **→ cash on arrival or via Payconiq / Wise / Revolut** This allows us to prepare proper dishes and keep quality high. Bring & Share (if you cook) **Food + drinks for you AND something to share** Cultural dishes encouraged: bring your “this is what we eat at home” Homemade always wins Drinks= Better quality, more balance We especially need proper soft drinks and also water **Location (shared privately)** **Address shared only with confirmed participants who:** **Join the WhatsApp group** **Send a short intro: name + languages + interests** **WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/F2hTxZ4TT3hHICiihX1Efy** **Rules** **Not a dating event** No drama, no weird behavior, no pushing boundaries Respect the place, the people, and the spirit of the day **Come to share, not just to consume.** * * This is not an “NPC meetup” where everyone tiptoes around like they’re negotiating a hostage release. People can talk freely and share opinions. **No censorship, no tone-policing, no drama farming.** * **No creeps. No harassment. No pushing after a “no.” No weird DMs.** * Respect the host’s home, neighbors, and the group. * If you act shady, you’re out. Simple.

Our traditional "Join & Play" event is on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Thursdays of each month. As always, it's free to come & play with us. How does it work ? • The events are open for beginner to advanced gamers. If you're new here they're the perfect gateway to discover what we do! • Those who want to host a game are asked to share in the comments below which game, & for how many players you can run your table. • For others, if you see a game you'd like to join just respond to the host in the comments below and we'll reserve a spot for that game for you. • Don't worry if you're new to boardgames or simply don't know the games being hosted this time around; you can simply show up and the event host will sort out a spot at a table for you! *But please make sure to arrive by 19h30* at the latest *so we can take the time to find you a suitable spot.* • The rules for the games will be explained by the table host before the game starts. No need to study them upfront, although several hosts post a video link to rules or background which can enhance your enjoyment of the game if you have the time to watch beforehand. This is never mandatory, however. ============================================== Games on the night: **\-\-\-\-** **[NEWTON](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/244711/newton)** **\-\-\-\-** Spot 1: Cerebral (host) Spot 2: Jeroen Spot 3: Fabio **\-\-\-\-** **[EVERDELL](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/199792/everdell)** **\-\-\-\-** Spot 1: Geraldine (host) Spot 2: Cédric T Spot 3: Spot 4: **\-\-\-\-** **[BIG BOSS](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/313/big-boss)**[ ](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/313/big-boss)**\-\-\-\-** Spot 1: Mislav (host) Spot 2: Spot 3: Spot 4: (Spot 5: ) (Spot 6: ) **\-\-\-\-** **TABLE 4** **\-\-\-\-** Spot 1: (host) Spot 2: Spot 3: Spot 4: **\-\-\-\-** **TABLE 5** **\-\-\-\-** Spot 1: (host) Spot 2: Spot 3: Spot 4:

We will be walking through the forest for a little over 1 1/2 hours, silently, just noticing the world around us and inside us. The idea is to experience the magic of a different type of walking, The invitation is to slow down and notice what is going on inside you and around you. Very often people experience a closer connection with nature and with self, with sometimes surprising insights. *Please make sure you are fit enough to go the 4.5 km distance. We will be walking slowly, but we will not take any breaks.* We will be meeting at the Hermann Debroux Metro at **14h**. (Exit straight ahead after leaving the platform--on the Loxam side). If you RSVP as coming, please be on time. We will be starting our walk from there 5 min. after the hour sharp. There is the renovated Maison de Prieur at the exit of the forest where we could gather for a drink or a meal after our walk, depending on what you feel like. Looking forward to an inward adventure? Come and join us on **Saturday, April 4, at 14h** My phone number is 0472 92 11 76, in case you need to communicate with me.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
