Play, eat, laugh - that was our Community evening

Our Community team invited us to play together. On the programme: new board games, familiar faces and a touch of Halloween.

Friday evening, shortly after seven. In the bar «Pause» in Zurich, glasses clink, someone laughs out loud, from a corner someone shouts «No, not again!». There are colourful cards and game instructions on the tables, and in the middle of it all are people who have mostly only known each other from the comments column.

The Galaxus Community team has invited the most active users from the board games section to a board game evening. This time, everything is a little more autumnal: a little Halloween decoration, steaming pumpkin soup, cake on the bar. The games range from quick rounds of «Flip 7» to creative guessing games such as «Krakel Orakel». Things get loud at «Bomb Busters», but only if the wrong wire is cut.

In between, there is chatter, discussion, swearing and laughter. It's not about winning, but about being together and the joy of playing together instead of scrolling.

At the end, everyone receives a small goodie bag. There's no big prize inside, but it's a token of appreciation and perhaps one more reason to come back next time.
