Join & Play Session ! Thursday 2 july 2026
Our traditional "Join & Play" event is now 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.
***Please note, ALL attendees must have their MeetUp message function turned on, in case of problems leading up to the event itself. Failure to do so will mean they will be removed in favour of those on the Waitlist.***
***This event is free*** *but takes place in a gaming cafe, the Outpost. As in any place of this type*\*, bringing food and drinks from the outside is not allowed, and you're expected to order something during the evening.
***All your hosts are doing that with passion for free, with their own games, players have to respect and be nice with the others players. Respect, courtesy and fairplay are asked around the table. Have fun.***
Attitude is everything, Pick a good one.

“International accents, real connections"
Dear beautiful people :)
This meetup was created with the intention of connecting people, and it remains a safe and welcoming space where every opinion matters and inclusivity is the pillar of the event 🤗.
Whatever your reason for coming — curiosity, practicing a language, meeting new people, hanging out, disconnecting from work, or simply nostalgia — you will be warmly welcomed in a respectful and open environment.
If you don't find someone who speaks the language you're learning, don't worry. Every person here is a doorway to a new culture, a new story, and at least one new word.
⭐ **Golden Rules**
Respect everyone – Every opinion and culture matters 🌎
Be inclusive – Make space for everyone at the table 🤝
Listen as much as you speak – Real connections come from sharing 👂
No discrimination or harassment – This is a safe space 🛡️
Stay curious and open-minded – You never know who you’ll meet ✨
Entry: **No fee, just grab a drink 🍹**
**“International accents, real connections” 🌍🗣️**
Hope to meet you soon :)

🇧🇪🇪🇸🇮🇹 Language Picnic & Games 🌎🌳🧺🏸 🎲 (TBC🌤️)
What's up Friends! 👋
If the weather gods feel generous 🌤️, we’re going full park mode: picnic 🧺🌳, games, laughs… and a touch of chaos ✨
‼️If not - we'll switch to the usual indoor format at Le Pantin or Café Leopold PDN.
📍Where
Park Cinquantenaire, Tour de Tournai 🏰 (that little castle-looking thingy in the park). Look it up on Google maps! We'll also post some pics of the exact spot. Can’t find us? 🤷♀️ Just ping me here.
💡 The Idea
Chill picnic with multiple language and game groups: Spanish, French - for sure, Dutch, Italian - if there is interest, other languages - TBD. Join a group and speak ONLY that language! Full immersion, baby! 🔥
Bring your own drinks 🧃, snacks 🥪🍓, blanket, and games 🎲🏸 (sharing always appreciated 😋).
We’ll break into small groups depending on the vibe: languages, games, other chats, sports.
⏱️ Timing
We kick off at 14:00 under the thickest shade we find. Stay as long as you like. Some of us would likely stay until the sun sets.
Joining later? Just drop a message in the chat in case we decide to move 😊.
🎲🏸 Games
All games are welcome in the park - boards, cards, balls, random stuff! I’ll have a few with me, but feel free to add your own favorites too.
🚦On the waitlist but really want to join? Or got any questions? Just DM me.
📢 Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM 💬. Check your messages 👀 the day before so you don't miss anything critical 🙄.
🐈⬛ The Friends Code:
👉 Games we play = group decision
👉 Linguistic chats = full immersion in one language. No one cares about mistakes. Just speak!
👉 Smaller groups = cozier vibes
👉 Got a favorite game? Suggest it or show up with it
👉 Can't make it? Cancel on time so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot
👉 If you’re on the waitlist, showing up is at your own risk 😄
See you there, folks 😉
