ZH3 Hash # 1723: MAFIA Hash
Hares (someone to set the route) are Premature C\*cksucker and Out of Africa.
We will play [Mafia ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game))on trail. Come join us!
**Where**:
Bag drop at Affoltern Bahnhof Mobility. Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm.
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.
**All Welcome:**
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
⢠We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful.
⢠The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun.
⢠'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
⢠The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
⢠There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
⢠**After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.
**Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?**
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.
'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.*
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Open-mic StorySLAM đ POINT OF NO RETURN
### **CROSSING THE RUBICON**
Have you ever made a choice that changed everything? A moment where the door slammed shut behind you, and the only way out was going through? On Thursday, April 30th, we are gathering for a ZST mainstage evening of true stories about those life-altering leaps, irreversible decisions, and the glorious (or disastrous;-) aftermath of saying "why not!"
"*Ships are safe in harbor, but thatâs not what ships are built for.*" â John A. Shedd
### **ARE YOU ALL IN?**
Weâve all stood on that edge. Maybe it was the moment you finally hit "un-subscribe" from an unfulfilling job, the night you committed to a FWB "situationship," or that impulsive decision to move outside the city where there's only one bus per hour. Once you roll the dice, thereâs no turning back. Whether you ended up exactly where you needed to be or found yourself in a completely unexpected reality, we want to hear your truth.
### **MOMENTS OF NO RETURN:**
* **The Leap of Faith:** That career pivot or international move that felt like jumping without a parachute.
* **The Bridge Burned:** When you finally stood your ground, spoke your truth, and knew things would never be the same.
* **The Point of Impact:** A split-second decisionâheroic, hilarious, or heartbreakingâthat changed forever who you are today.
### **JOIN THE FRAY**
Whether youâre a seasoned teller or just realized you have the perfect story while reading this, your voice belongs on our stage. Not ready to bare your soul? Come for the drama, stay for the community, and help us vote for the "Best Storytelling of the Night.

Mäng - transformational game
EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT.
Try a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zßrich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy.
A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy, it is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, itâs an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit.
đĄ **How it works:**
Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change:
1. **Discovery** â Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs
2. **Uninstallation** â Let go of outdated patterns
3. **Design** â Create new mental strategies
4. **Integration** â Embed them into your deeper awareness
Youâll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries.
đż **Who is this for?**
For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology.
đ **Important:**
This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment.
Price for newbies: 250 CHF

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!
## FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2026: Your Multiverse Awaits!
Hey Comic Fam,
Letâs be real: scrolling through memes and arguing about who's the best Robin (Spoiler Alert, it's Dick) is fun, but nothing beats the electricity of a room full of people who *actually get it.* You know that feeling when you find someone who rants about the same obscure character for two hours? Or the rush of swapping fan theories over a stack of fresh issues? Thatâs not just "reading comics"âthatâs belonging to a community.
**On Saturday, May 2, 2026, weâre turning that feeling up to eleven.**
Free Comic Book Day isn't just an event; itâs the one day a year where the stories jump off the shelves and into the hands of the fans who keep the fire burning. Weâre hosting the ultimate geek-core celebrationâthe kind of day Stan Lee wouldâve crashed just to see the smiles.
### đ The "Price Tag: Zero" Lineup
Weâve got **24 massive titles** hitting the shelves for FREE. Whether youâre a hardened collector or just someone who got snagged by a cool cover once, there is a story here for you. Check out some of the heavy hitters:
* **The Icons:** *DC x Sonic #1*, *Mega Man Showdown*, and *Street Fighter Forever*.
* **The Big Screen Vibes:** *Stitch #1*, *Flash Gordon #1*, and *Conan the Barbarian*.
* **The Deep Cuts:** *Dungeon Crawler Carl #0*, *The Nice House on the Lake*, and *Energon Universe*.
* **The Wildcards:** *Aquamanatee #1* (yes, you read right) and *World of Archie*.
### ⥠The "Thank You" Bonus: 20% OFF Everything Else
Because youâre the heartbeat of this shop, weâre doing more than just giving away books. To say thanks for keeping the stories alive, weâre giving everyone who joins us **20% OFF all other comics on our shelves.** Fill those gaps in your collection, grab that trade paperback youâve been eyeing, or finally dive into a new seriesâall while saving some gold for your next adventure.
***
### đ Where & When
**Date:** Saturday, May 2, 2026
**Location:** Kabooom Comic Shop
**The Vibe:** High energy, rare finds, and the best community in Switzerland.
Don't be the one scrolling through the photos the next day wishing you were there. This is your moment, your room, and your people.
**Will you be joining the front lines?** Sign up and let us know which free title you're most hyped for!
Stay legendary,
**Your Kabooom Team**

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
âŠWe started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
âŠFeel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
âŠHere are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
âŠTabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 WondersâŚ
âŠSocial deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, WerewordsâŚ
âŠIMPORTANT:
âŠ1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
âŠ2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you havenât come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
