Everyone is welcome! While no previous experience is required, please note that this is a more complex and longer game, so I strongly recommend watching the how-to-play video and checking out the rules beforehand to help the game run smoothly.

Afterwork session: Brass Birmingham
***Brass: Birmingham*** is an economic strategy game sequel to Martin Wallace's 2007 masterpiece, *Brass*. *Brass: Birmingham* tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham during the industrial revolution between the years of 1770 and 1870.
It offers a very different story arc and experience from its predecessor. As in its predecessor, you must develop, build and establish your industries and network in an effort to exploit low or high market demands. The game is played over two halves: the canal era (years 1770-1830) and the rail era (years 1830-1870). To win the game, score the most VPs. VPs are counted at the end of each half for the canals, rails and established (flipped) industry tiles.
Each round, players take turns according to the turn order track, receiving two actions to perform any of the following actions (found in the original game):
1. **Build** \- Pay required resources and place an industry tile\.
2. **Network** \- Add a rail / canal link\, expanding your network\.
3. **Develop** \- Increase the VP value of an industry\.
4. **Sell** \- Sell your cotton\, manufactured goods and pottery\.
5. **Loan** \- Take a £30 loan and reduce your income\.

Board Games Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Day-off session: Multiple games
1st May is a holiday ! So why not having a full afternoon of gaming there on that day ? If you feel likewise, then join this event!
Unlike most of our events, this is a more improvised one : some attendees bring their games, and we decide on the spot what we'll play. You may also post your ideas of what you want to bring/play in the comments, to gauge interest among the participants.
Outpost opens at 11:30, so you may come from that time, but you can also come a bit later if you wish. Because it's Friday, we'll need to vacate the place towards 6 or 7 PM.
**Please RSVP to this event if you wish to come**. Do not come without having done so. It makes it easier to plan that way.
Although you can arrive at any time, **please post your estimated time of arrival in the comments**. It will make it easier to organise the tables that way.
**Don't forget to unsubscribe from the event if you aren't able to come.** Someone else might take your place in that case. Don't block it if you don't come.

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).
Can’t find us? 🤷♀️ Just ping me here.
💡 The Idea
Chill picnic: bring your own drinks 🧃, snacks 🥪🍓, blanket, and games 🎲🏸 (sharing always appreciated 😋).
We’ll break into small groups depending on the vibe: games, chats, sports.
⏱️ Timing
We kick off at 14:00. Stay as long as you like.
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
👉 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 😉
Badminton Sunday Advanced
First time comers
Please make sure to read the rules and contact the organizer before! Otherwise you will be moved to waiting list. Apologies for inconvenience but we have to do it to avoid no-shows.
New and Interested in being part of our group? Join here, https://chat.whatsapp.com/KqdVhyuBhFz1d56lv4WVVi
Please Direct Message the Organizer with your level. Approval is required before your first RSVP.
Games format.
95% are double games (unless someone needs a break), typically 4 people play together 2 sets and then mix with players from other fields. We play with plastic shuttles - Yonex Mavis 2000 (which are provided).
Registration
If it's your first time, please send a private message to the host to confirm. No-shows are taken quite seriously because they unbalance the games a lot. Also once you register please keep an eye on you private messages, in case we need to contact you.
Players level
Having players with much less experience often unbalances the game making it much less interesting for more experienced players. We still try to be welcoming.
As a rule of thumb, if you know what a "clear" is, you are welcome to join.
Otherwise, feel free to get in touch with me (John) and we can see if we can arrange so you and existing players can have good experience playing.
Price and payments
The price of participation is EUR 9. Payment is on-site in cash, or via online. Info provided during or shortly after the event in the WhatsApp group.
Cancelations and no-shows
Switches and cancellations are free of charge if done more than 50 hours before the start of the matches
If you cancel within the 50-hour window before the event starts, you will be placed on the wait-list for the next week's event, whether or not a replacement is found. If no replacement is secured, you'll still need to cover your share of the costs.

Questions or first-time approval requests? DM the Organizer with your playing level and availability.
