Word Gaming

Our free-of-charge meet-up in the Black Sheep Pub on Capel Street. This is a casual meet up for people who want to play boardgames. Lots of people bring plenty of games and rules will always be explained so don't worry if you're new to the hobby and you don't have anything to bring along or think you won't know how to play. The meet-up runs for the whole day but late comers always welcome, you just may have to wait a little for a game to open up but games will be starting and ending throughout the day. **IMPORTANT!** **The meet up is free of charge but we do ask that people support the bar by buying food and/or drink. The bar is very accommodating to us and it's important that we support them in return. Bringing in outside food or drink is completely unacceptable.** Check out the comments below where people will say what games they are bringing and express your interest in joining if interested. Any questions contact either of the organisers Gavin or Stephen.

Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. This week's facilitators: * **Colin** will run The Wildsea: Centuries ago, the old world was swallowed by a sea of mile-high trees. Now you and your crew sail across the treetops of the Wildsea in a shop driven by a chainsaw. Low magic, high weird, leaf-punk adventures await! Your crew has heard rumors of same rare materials revealed by a recent storm and you are off to explore! * **Silvia** will run The (Orc) Pope Is Dead, yet another silly adventure by Grant Howitt. Terrible news: you and the lads went out drinking with the Pope last night and now he’s dead. The orcish church of Bog-Al-Kurruk is without a leader. Can you and your mates - esteemed clerics all - work out which one of you it’s going to be, and then outdo or discredit your rivals to claim the most prestigious title in the orc nation? *** Details for the event (number of groups and games) will be published here or earlier on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin). Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on Discord).

Do you understand French but struggle to speak naturally when it’s time to respond? Join a relaxed **French conversation group** where we use **real news stories** as a way to practise **speaking French** in a natural and structured way. This is not a traditional lesson. It’s a guided conversation space where you **practise speaking** through real-life content. \#\# 📰 THIS SESSION’S TOPIC : A REAL NEWS STORY In this session, we will work with a short French news extract about **Fake police officers in Marseille**. \#\# 🎥 BEFORE THE SESSION Before the meetup, you will watch a short French news video about **Fake police officers in Marseille**. This video will give you the key vocabulary and context so you feel more comfortable speaking during the session. You will also receive a few simple comprehension questions to help you prepare your ideas. \#\# 💬 DURING THE MEETUP We will use the news story as a starting point for discussion and speaking practice. You will be guided through conversation questions to help you : * describe what happened in the story * to identify / describe someone involved in the story * situate events in time and space * to express a hypothesis. You don’t need perfect French — the goal is to speak and build confidence. \#\# 🗣️ ACTIVITY FORMAT The session will include : * group discussion based on the video * guided speaking questions * interactive conversation practice * a final speaking activity / role-play based on the scenario \#\# 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL IMPROVE By the end of the session, you will have practised how to : * speak more spontaneously in French * understand and react to real French content * build confidence when expressing ideas * move from “I understand” to “I can respond” \#\# 🌿 ATMOSPHERE This is a supportive, low-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome and part of the learning process. The goal is communication, not perfection. \#\# 👥LEVEL Intermediate French learners (you should already understand basic French and be able to form simple sentences). \#\# ⭐ Free event – feedback appreciated This is a free session, and your feedback is very important for me as I build these conversation groups. At the end of the meetup, I’ll kindly ask participants to leave a short review about their experience — it really helps others decide whether to join future sessions. \#\# 📩 Feel free to join or message me if you have any questions

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

BACK TO CABS!!! Come to CABS Friday 7/10 & Saturday 7/11 - return to CABS as we come back from Origins and the 4th of July Holiday Break. Come play the new games added to the library at Origins!!!

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We 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. 
Feel 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. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. 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. 
2. 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 haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Join us for a great day of gaming at CABS!!! Your first visit is FREE!!!
