Serious Games

We play any kind of board and card games. Most of them are german or language neutral games. It doesn't matter if you are casual or core player. The main thing is to meet and have fun. Bring your own game or choose one of about 150 games we have on site. You want to play a certain game you don't own, ask Björn (spielfest-berlin@email.de) if he can bring it or ask in the comments. Please RSVP if you like to come. It makes things way easier to organize, if we know how big the boardgame-enjoying-crowd gonna be. If the front door is locked, call Björn 0049157 746 300 78 or someone named on the door sign. Entrance is 3€ and can be paid on-site (prepay is not possible). There will be snacks, tee, coffee and soft drinks for little money as well. Of course you can bring your own food/drinks as well. No Animals allowed.

**👋 Hello Strangers! —** For all players and chess-curious folks out there who want to chill and make friends: We are hosting a daily chess meetup at Café LUZII welcoming all experience levels. It doesn't matter if you just watched the Queen's Gambit or if you have been playing regularly for years – join us Daily from 7pm till 10 pm. **Pics** · [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/strangerchess/) / **Chat** · [Telegram](https://t.me/strangerchess) / **Web** · [StrangerChess](https://strangerchess.com/) (No need to bring anything, boards, clocks, etc. are provided)

💜 This event will take place at Other Nature and registrations must be made through their website and NOT through MeetUp: [https://other-nature.de/blogs/events/18-06-26-rethinking-relationships-game-night](https://other-nature.de/blogs/events/18-06-26-rethinking-relationships-game-night) Join us for an evening of connection, play, and reimagining relationships! The Relationship Design Game is a card deck that invites you to explore your true desires and rethink conventional relationship norms. The game's creator, Mariana Cerejo, will welcome you and then, in small groups, we'll play the game together. Through their prompts, the games create space to rethink relationships according to your own needs and desires, and to cultivate communication, honesty, and respect. There will be space for sharing personal experiences, gaining different perspectives, supporting one another, listening, and being listened to with empathy. This is not a dating event, but an opportunity to reflect, learn, and exchange perspectives on relationships, community, and sexuality. The evening warmly invites non-monogamous/relationship anarchist people, as well as anyone who is curious about reimagining relationships beyond the scripts and power structures of monogamy, heteronormativity, and patriarchy. Mariana Cerejo has spent much of my her life asking why relationships have to fit into molds that don’t serve us. As someone who isn’t naturally extroverted or highly communicative, she realized that she needed dynamic and thought-provoking tools to facilitate conversations that could free her from those molds. That’s why she created the Relationship Design Game, the Sexuality Design Game, and the Community Design Game. Mariana is a designer who developed these tools in collaboration with psychologists and people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, with the goal of making them as inclusive as possible.

Bist du bereit für das Spiel des Sommers? Dann mach dich bereit für **BOUNCE IT**! Sei jetzt exklusiv am Launch-Tag dabei und nimm an einem der deutschlandweiten Turniere teil, um BOUNCE IT als Erstes auszuprobieren und deine Wurffähigkeit beweisen zu können! **Zum Turnier** An mehreren Standorten in ganz Deutschland kannst du BOUNCE IT exklusiv kennenlernen, dein Können unter Beweis stellen und außer jede Menge Spielspaß noch tolle Preise abstauben! **Zu BOUNCE IT** BOUNCE IT ist ein Geschicklichkeitsspiel, bei dem unterschiedlich große Bälle in die Spielverpackung geworfen werden und dabei vorher einmal auf dem Tisch aufkommen müssen. Doch dazu gehört auch noch Taktik, denn du entscheidest bei jedem erfolgreichen Wurf, ob du weiterspielen und um höhere Chips spielen willst. Dann muss aber auch dein letzter Wurf gelingen, denn sonst verlierst du den Fortschritt dieser Runde und gehst leer aus! Und dein Gegner darf da weiter machen, wo du aufgehört hast… Die genaue Spielanleitung erfolgt natürlich am Anfang des Turniers an dem jeweiligen Standort. **Zu den Teilnahmebedingungen** Informationen zu anderen Standorten und den Teilnahmebedingungen findets du [hier](https://www.denkriesen.com/pages/lp-bounce-it-turnier)! **Zu den Kosten** Die Kosten des Turniers variieren von Standort zu Standort, da hier individuelle Eintrittspreise anfallen. Die Eintrittskosten gehen nicht an die DENKRIESEN sondern an den jeweiligen Standort. Wenn Kosten anfallen, werden sie hier auf MeetUp ausgeschrieben. Die Turniermaterialien werden von den DENKRIESEN gestellt, aber die Turniere von den Standorten durchgeführt.

Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/ ======================================= A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

This is a time where players of all ages, and skill levels can gather and enjoy a nice Sunday full of Chess!
