Everyone is welcome! No previous experience or game knowledge needed — I’ll explain all the rules before we start.
Board and card games at the Café
WHAT we play. As you know, we have two events, one more for social games on Thursday and another for **strategic games** on **Monday**. Depending on what people bring, we may play brainy games, not limited to chess and classic games. So, feel free to bring other ones.
And this is only indicative. Some games like Decrypto fit both events, **and if people feel like playing a social game on Monday or a more strategic one on Thursday, they are free to do so.**
WHERE. Because we have many strategic players on Monday and these games take longer, we moved to a café closing much later than the previous one.
CHATBOX USE. In the event chatbox, you are invited to discuss the games you bring and want to play for this session. The idea is to gather people around game tables beforehand. Of course, it's also possible to show up and arrange this after the introduction round, which starts at 7h15.
HOST. If you want to become a host and have your board game event for a specific game with a small group of people or in another place, Great! Let me know, and I'll help you set up your event with this group. Hosts don't pay fees.
TIMING: Because strategy games are often longer, we gather at 7 pm and start at 7:15. So, those who play long games can have 3 hours and 30 minutes for their game. You can come later, but you may have to wait before joining a game.
WHERE. We play upstairs. Ask which room at the bar downstairs.
DRINK. You have to order a drink at the bar, pay for it, and come up with it.
**PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, THE AUTOBUS ACCEPTS CASH ONLY.**
EVENT REGISTRATION.
Please register to allow us adequate venue planning.
IN CASE OF A WAITLIST. Please, out of respect for people on the waiting list, don't cancel later than 7 PM the day before so they can plan their evening correctly. If you are on the waiting list, please cancel your attendance if you change your mind and can no longer come.
Don't hesitate to send me a message to comment or make suggestions!
Take care and see you soon!

**Are you late?**
Please inform the event host, or comment on the event page. If you arrive late and the session is already in progress, please wait on the side till the game/scene is finished. Wait for the session moderator to indicate when you can start participating.
* **Location**
The session takes place on the first floor of
Cafe Merlo
Quai Aux Briques 80 · Brussels
* **Participation (Attendee list)**
The session is limited to **12 attendees**. This is to ensure that the session is manageable and everybody gets enough chances to participate.
Therefore, only the people on the "attendee list" are allowed to be present at the session and participate.
**Waiting list**: People on the waiting list should keep an eye on the updates, in case someone from the attendees' list drops and you get their spot.
**Just want to observe?** Usually, we don't allow any extra audience during these sessions. We invite you to come to any of our shows.
But if for some reason you are only interested in observing and not participating, please contact the event host on meetup, or talk with them personally at the session and explain your reasons. Admission for this is not guaranteed.
*People on the attendee list are expected to take part.*
* **RSVP Rules**
* Please update your RSVP status in a timely manner, if you can't make it to the session. This applies to people on the **attendee list AND waiting list.**
* If you are on the waiting list, and already know that you won't be able to join in case someone from the main list drops, please update your RSVP to "not going". This will give the chance to the next person on the waiting list.
* Emergencies aside, please update your rsvp status on time. Canceling last minute or just 1 hour before isn't helpful.
* If we see a pattern from someone not showing up after confirming, or last-minute cancellations, we reserve the right to prohibit access to the sessions.
* Please write a comment if you cancel and your spot becomes available. With this others will get an extra notification.
**Improv Session Format**
The session is held in English.
The session is divided into three sections: Warm up, Scene games, and Cool down.
**Warmup:** Quick group games are played to break the ice and get the creative juices flowing.
**Scenes:** Then we move on to scene games. These are mostly from short-form improv, which can include different games with various gimmicks, like story building, character work, guessing, etc
**Cool down:** One or two short group games to end the session. The rules are explained by the moderator before each game.
There is no obligation to take part in games that you are not comfortable with.
There can be feedback after a game is played. This is so that we learn from each other and gain skills and insights.
**Tip**: If you are new, pay attention to the regular players when they are performing and notice small details, like how a stage is cleared before a scene, how to enter a scene, and how to collaborate with each other.
* **Who is it for?**
Anyone who is interested in improv! We accept all levels, beginners, and advanced participants
This is a great place to start if you are new to improv. The basics will be explained. We only require the "Yes, and...!" spirit!
If you are an advanced player and have ideas and games to share and work on, please do let us know.
We look forward to welcoming you and doing improv!

Board Games Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Join & Play! May 21
Our traditional "Join & Play" event is on the 1st 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.

Board Game Fun Night @ Hal5 in Kessel-Lo
1. **Always RSVP before attending.**
2. **Limited spots:** RSVP does not guarantee a spot — please check if you're on the main list or the waitlist.
3. **WAITLIST notice:** Please don’t take a spot from someone who signed up in time — only attend if you’re off the waitlist. You may move to the active list if someone cancels, which can happen the day before or even on the day of game night.
4. **Be on time:** If you’re more than 20–25 minutes late, you likely can’t join a table — we won’t restart game explanations for latecomers. You may wait for the next game.
5. **Take care of the games:** The people hosting the evening kindly bring and share their own private — and often quite expensive — games. Please don’t bend the cards (these aren’t just cheap poker decks!), be gentle with the components, and make sure everything goes back neatly in the box.
6. **Be present, not on your phone:** Please give your attention when someone is explaining the rules — especially the person hosting the game, who took the time to prepare and make sure everyone can enjoy it. This is a game night, not just a casual bar hangout, so please respect their effort and the focus of the other players.
7. **No double booking:** On Wednesdays, another game night is organized at the same time by another group, the International House of Leuven (IHL). If you sign up for both events, we will automatically remove you from our list. Please don’t be rude by occupying a spot that someone else could use — respect both communities and let everyone enjoy a fair chance to join.
Card games night
Welcome to our card games night. We will play on Wednesday from 19h-21h at CHEZWaWa Châtelain, a small restaurant.
The address is Rue Américaine 91, 1050 Brussels. (Be careful, there also is another CHEZWaWa restaurant.) Please arrive on time.
Feel free to call Bruno if you need directions or have questions at +32 485 298 713.
We'll bring a selection of games, and you are welcome to bring any of your own.
The restaurant serves delicious Mexican-Californian food you might wanna try. It will be available until 20h30.
Our group gets a 10% discount on food. We encourage you to have at least a drink, it helps to keep the business running ;)
If you like, you can also come a bit earlier for a chat or a snack. We'll be there from 18h30.

Fort Wayne Dynamic Zoom Dating For Singles
**✨ Private Online Speed Dating for Fort Wayne Singles on Zoom — All from Your Couch**
Throughout the event, you'll engage in hosted video chat rounds with compatible Fort Wayne singles sorted by age and personality, with a real host running the session throughout.
Prior to the event, you fill in a quick matching survey — those details are used to connect you with Fort Wayne singles who fit your profile, meaning your rounds are curated and not random.
After the final round, mutual match details are distributed — with no one-sided reach-outs ever happening — and you take over from there entirely.
**Register via your age group:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Fort%20Wayne&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0)
- **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Fort%20Wayne&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0)
- **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Fort%20Wayne&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0)
- **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Fort%20Wayne&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=55+&face_v=4.0)
**⚠️ Your seat is not locked yet:** Rsvping here does not hold your place in the event, so follow the link for your age group, sign up, and complete the personality matching questionnaire — numbers are intentionally limited so register early, and your place is confirmed only once you have done both.
---
**This is for you if:**
- Daters living in Fort Wayne wanting to escape dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for something that feels natural.
- Anyone across Fort Wayne wanting to escape swiping left and right with no results and prefer meeting people in person first.
- Daters across Fort Wayne who no longer want endless scrolling and zero real dates and are ready for something genuine instead.
- First-timers in the Fort Wayne area wanting to escape endless scrolling and zero real dates and want actual face-to-face conversation.
**How it works**
1. **Find your age group** – by using the link for your bracket above, then take the personality survey, as without this your RSVP holds nothing.
2. **Jump on Zoom** – by clicking into the session at the scheduled start, works anywhere with a camera and internet, and a friendly host manages everything once you are on.
3. **Enjoy the rounds** – private video rounds with Fort Wayne area singles in your age range, with a host keeping rounds moving at a comfortable pace, because no round here is random — everyone was selected.
4. **Receive match results** – after the event you will receive any mutual match details, and only confirmed mutual matches receive each other's contact details, and you follow up at your own speed from there.

✨ Fort Wayne singles worth meeting are in this event — pick your age group and sign up and we will take care of the matching this time. Your matches are waiting to be found. 🌻 ✨
Surrey Results Focused Local Zoom Dating
**🎯 Short Rounds Genuine People for Surrey People Done with Apps**
Throughout the event, you'll spend your time in focused short video rounds with Surrey locals paired by quiz results and age range, with a dedicated host managing each round.
During sign-up, you complete a brief compatibility form — we use those answers to pair you intelligently with Surrey locals, so every person you meet has been matched to you on purpose.
After all the rounds, match notifications go to both parties — but only if the feeling was mutual — and you are in control of what happens next.
**Pick your age range and grab a spot:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0)

**⚠️ Spot not held yet:** Rsvping on meetup does not confirm your spot at the event, so tap your age group link above, register fully, and complete the personality matching quiz — numbers are intentionally limited so register early, and your spot is held only when both steps are done.
---
**Perfect for:**
- Women and men from Surrey ready to move past digital dating that never converts to anything real and prefer meeting people in person first.
- Members based in Surrey who no longer want swiping left and right with no results and value real conversation over curated profiles.
- Returners locally in Surrey who are tired of app fatigue and empty match queues and want to talk to real people tonight.
- Returners near Surrey who have given up on profiles that never convert to actual dates and prefer structure over ambiguity.
**What to Know**
- **Format:** Live on a live video platform featuring private video date rounds, compatibility-matched within your age range.
- **Where:** No travel required — on any internet-connected device, camera mic and Wi-Fi — that is the full tech list, and you can pick whatever quiet spot works for you.
- **Host:** An attentive host keeps everything on track and stress-free throughout, so the focus stays entirely on the people you are meeting — from first round to final result it is all managed for you.
- **Vibe:** Easy-going personal date rounds with Surrey singles who are here for the same reason you are, and first-timers always leave surprised by how natural it felt.
- **Duration:** Around one to one-and-a-half hours from opening to close, and most people say it flies by.
**The breakdown**
1. **Confirm your place** – through the age-specific link above, then fill in the personality matching questionnaire, as completing both steps locks in your place.
2. **Join the session** – by clicking the Zoom invite at the event time, no download is needed since it works in any browser, and a live host walks you through it from there.
3. **Connect** – focused private rounds with Surrey people matched to you by age and quiz, with everything paced by a host so nothing drags, as every round is with someone selected for you by the quiz.
4. **Collect your mutual matches** – mutual selections are shared privately once the evening wraps, with unmatched selections never disclosed to anyone, and you follow up at your own speed from there.
⭐ *"Better than every app I have tried combined — better than every app I have tried"* – Surrey single

✨ The best conversations start somewhere — select your bracket and register and the evening takes care of itself in this round. The evening starts the moment you register. 🥰 ✨

**✨ Real One-on-One Rounds Online for Burnaby Singles Done Swiping**
As a participant, you'll experience quick private Zoom rounds with Burnaby singles matched to you by age and personality, as a friendly host guides every transition.
Once you register, you fill in a quick matching survey — your personality profile from that quiz to curate your Burnaby matches by quiz results and age, meaning your rounds are curated and not random.
After the session closes, mutual match details are distributed — contact details flow only on mutual selection — and what happens next is entirely up to you.

**⚠️ Heads up:** Your rsvp here is not a registration confirmation, so select your bracket link, complete the registration form, and finish the personality quiz — places are capped so do this promptly, and your spot is held only when both steps are done.

**What to expect**
1. **Grab your spot** – via your age group registration link, then complete the short matching survey, as both steps are required and neither can be skipped.
2. **Log in** – using the video link shared before the session, any device with a camera and mic is all you need, and round management is all on the host from there.
3. **Date** – short Zoom speed dating rounds with Burnaby area singles in your age range, as the host signals round starts and ends, because the format is built so every round is worth having.
4. **See your results** – after the event you will receive any mutual match details, and only confirmed mutual matches receive each other's contact details, and everything from that point is on your schedule.
**Best suited to:**
- People within Burnaby wanting to escape matches that fade out before meeting and want to meet real locals without the faff.
- Singles calling Burnaby home moving beyond dating apps that go nowhere and are serious about meeting someone.
- Someone based in Burnaby wanting to escape conversations that fizzle before a first date and are ready for a genuine first impression.
⭐ *"Not what I expected at all — better than every app I have tried"* – Burnaby local who came sceptical
💡 **Good to know:** check your Zoom setup in advance, because good audio is just as important as good video, and the host handles everything else from that point.

✨ Real conversations from home — register via your age group link and we will set the rest up for you in your own time. Can not wait to see you there. 💘 ✨
Burnaby Simple Interactive Online Speed Dating
**🪷 Speed Dating Built for Locals for Burnaby People Real Connection**
As a guest, you'll be guided through focused short video rounds with Burnaby locals age-grouped and personality-matched, with someone hosting live from start to finish.
As you finalise your spot, you take a quick personality and preferences survey — those results are used to match you with Burnaby people who are actually compatible, giving every chat a better foundation than a swipe ever could.
After the final round, we let mutual matches know — with privacy guaranteed for all non-mutual picks — and you follow up whenever it suits you.
**Registration — choose your age group:**

**⚠️ Action needed:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so complete registration via your age bracket link and finish the short personality quiz — the cap is reached quickly so register without delay, and skipping either step means your place is not held.

**This is for you if:**
- Women and men from Burnaby moving beyond apps that waste evenings for no return and want to meet real locals without the faff.
- Women and men from around Burnaby who are tired of matches that ghost after two messages and are ready for a genuine first impression.
- Anyone across Burnaby looking beyond conversations that fizzle before a first date and are after something more than a swipe can offer.
- Anyone at all based in Burnaby leaving behind swiping left and right with no results and prefer meeting people in person first.
- Someone from the Burnaby area done with dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for a genuine first impression.
**What to Know**
- **Format:** Host-managed in a hosted Zoom session with back-to-back private rounds per pair, quiz-and-age matched for every single round.
- **Where:** Home-based — on any modern device with a camera, nothing is needed beyond a device and a stable connection, and couch desk or spare room are all equally valid spots.
- **Host:** An engaging host handles everything so you just show up and enjoy, meaning you never have to think about the format — the host owns the evening so you can simply enjoy it.
- **Duration:** Most sessions run for ninety minutes or so from first round to last, and the evening has a natural momentum.
**How it all works**
1. **Register** – by using the link for your bracket above, then fill in the personality questions as part of registration, because this is the only way to be confirmed.
2. **Enter the Zoom room** – by opening the session link at the right time, any device works and no download is required, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely.
3. **Start the rounds** – personality-matched one-on-one rounds with Burnaby singles curated for you by age and personality, while the host controls the pace so you can relax, as the work of finding compatible people was done for you.
4. **Review your matches** – post-event mutual selections are confirmed and shared, so your info only reaches someone who also chose you, and you connect whenever you would like to with no pressure.
⭐ *"One of the best evenings I have had — it felt natural from the first round"* – Burnaby local
