Spanish Playgroup

¡Hola zusammen! 
☀️ Almuerzo / Brunch ☀️
 domingo 15 de marzo, a partir de las 11:00
hrs (el local abre justo a las 11). Oficialmente el evento es de 2 hrs, pero con frecuencia nos quedamos un tiempo más, cuando la conversación lo amerita :D Tomamos algo y hablamos español y Deutsch Lugar: El Colmado en Alexanderplatz. Se solicita una cooperación de 1€ para mantener el grupo. Concretamente, para pagar los gastos de la plataforma Meetup, que se ha vuelto mas caro para los organizadores últimamente. ¡Agradecemos tu apoyo! Queremos que sea un grupo pequeño, para que todos puedan hablar en un ambiente tranquilo. Entonces, si no puedes asistir, te pedimos por favor cambiar tu reserva a "not going", así los que están en la lista de espera también tienen oportunidad de asistir.

Hola, gente bonita 🫶 Lass uns ein Bier trinken, Spanisch-Deutsch sprechen und eine gute Zeit genießen! Grundlegende (oder bessere 😛) Kenntnisse in Spanisch oder Deutsch sind alles, was du brauchst. Vamos a tomar una cerveza, hablar español-alemán y pasarla bien! Un nivel básico (o mejor 😛) de español o alemán es lo único que necesitas.

She teaches at primary schools and high schools and works for the **Humanist Association of Germany**. In this special meetup, Jeannette will talk about her work as a teacher, give insights into the subject *Lebenskunde*, and share how values, ethics, and media literacy are taught in schools today. 📚 **Talk topics:** • What is the school subject *Lebenskunde*? • Values, ethics, and social topics in the classroom • Media literacy and education in today’s world • Insights into everyday life as a teacher • Personal experiences & an open Q&A session ⏱ **Format:** The speaker part will last about **30–45 minutes**. Afterwards, we continue with **free conversation**, discussion questions, and small speaking games so everyone can practice German in a relaxed way. 🗣️ **What you will practice:** • Listening comprehension with a native speaker • Vocabulary related to education, media & society • Speaking confidently in a supportive environment ☕ **Atmosphere:** Small group, café-style setting, conversations & networking 📸 **Note:** Photos and short videos will be taken for social media.

Join our **CATAN** Meetup to play, socialize, and enjoy this classic board game. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player. Expect fun, friendly games, plenty of laughter, and the chance to make new friends. This is a relaxed, casual meetup: **no hardcore competition**, just friendly rivalry. 👉 **Please RSVP only if you plan to attend.** *** **How to Play (Quick Guide):** * **Setup:** Build the island with hex tiles, place number tokens, roads, settlements, and give each player starting resources. * **Turn order:** On your turn, roll two dice to produce resources, then trade and build. * **Resource production:** Players gain resources (wood, brick, sheep, wheat, ore) from tiles next to their settlements/cities when the tile’s number is rolled. * **Robber:** If a 7 is rolled, players with too many cards discard half; move the robber to block a tile and steal a card. *NOTE: Friendly robber rule: We play with the friendly robber rule, which means that the robber cannot be placed on a player with less than 3 points.* * **Trading:** Trade resources with other players or with the bank (usually 4:1, better with ports). * **Building:** Spend resources to build roads, settlements, cities, or buy development cards. * **Victory points:** Earn points from settlements, cities, development cards, Longest Road, and Largest Army. * **Winning:** The first player to reach 10 victory points on their turn wins. * 2-Hours-Max: If no one reaches 10 points by the end of the second hour, the player with the most points wins. This keeps our game capped at **two hours**. ⏰️ *** **Our Game Set-Up & Attendance Policy:** 1. We will have two CATAN sets available for up to six players each, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. 2. Since each game takes a considerable amount of time, arriving after a game has already started may make it difficult to place you at a table. 3. In such cases, you may need to place your first two settlements on the remaining available parts of the map—if space allows. 4. Please make sure to update your RSVP in advance. Failure to do so may cause unnecessary delays for everyone at the start. 5. Not showing up without notice will result in being blacklisted for at least one future meetup. ***

Dear Book Enthusiasts, For our March gathering, we’ll be reading *Raised from the Ground* by the Nobel Prize–winning author Jose Saramago. First published in 1980, this powerful novel traces several generations of landless peasants in rural Portugal, giving voice to lives shaped by poverty, repression, endurance, and quiet resistance. With his distinctive narrative style and moral clarity, Saramago explores labor, injustice, solidarity, and dignity, transforming collective struggle into unforgettable literature. 📅 **Date & Time:** 15.03.2026 at 15:00 📍 **Location:** Audrey coffee, Holzendorffstraße 18, 14057 Berlin 💬 **Fee:** As always, a 3 € contribution after the meeting helps cover organization costs I’m very much looking forward to discussing this moving and politically charged novel with you — and to sharing another thoughtful afternoon together. Warmly, Sofya P.S. kind thanks to Raimundo for a great present :)

Hi folks, this is the special meetup group for the weekly Sunday Blood on the Clocktower games at BRLO Brwhaus near Potsdamer Platz. We run beginner-friendly and intermediate-level games throughout the afternoon and evening. **Friendly newcomers of all skill levels are welcome, no experience required!** Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”. We are usually able to offer two simultaneous games on Sundays. If you are marked as "attending" in Meetup and are in your seat at 15:00, your place is guaranteed for as long as you want to stay. All other seats are first come, first served. We always run at least one beginner-friendly game of the basic version of Clocktower ("Trouble Brewing") throughout the afternoon and evening. We also usually have enough players for a second intermediate-level game. If you are already very familiar with Clocktower, consider also joining our Tuesday meetup for advanced players, when we play with complex custom scripts and characters. Blood on the Clocktower is a deep, mechanical game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception… think Werewolf on steroids. Each player receives a unique secret role and plays either for the good team – the uninformed majority, gathering info and working with others to solve the puzzle – or the evil team, the informed minority, scheming to eliminate good players and protect their demon from execution. In our beginner games no prior experience is expected and we will gladly explain the game rules to any newcomers. We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case. We are very grateful to our wonderful hosts at BRLO, and we ask all our players to support the venue by purchasing some food and/or drink during the event.

We will be attending the Cello.Orchestra.Berlin's concert together! Meet us outside the Emmaus-Kirche a few minutes before 3pm. We can hang out together during the break, and if everyone's interested, get a snack or drink after the performance. The concert will feature works by Purcell, D'Ambrosi, Beethoven, Kelly, Schumann, Schostakowitsch, Villa-Lobos, and more. The concert is free, they ask for donations.

A beautiful Kreuzberg Café La Tienda hosts us on regular, weekly basis. The owner is very friendly and plays chess too. Please, please respect the invitation and leave some money on the bar - it's a café, so please behave like in a café and carry your responsibility for the chess community you are part of. More then before small business need our support. Female players, beginners and hobby players -it's our event! Please note that the number of attendees on Meetup doesn't correspond the amount of people coming to La Tienda. There is a vivid community around, so we are always many!

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings.
