We advertise our event like this:
IBG is an association that organizes meetups with the purpose of helping people make new friends.
At our GothCon event, you can sit down and play board games with people you might not yet know.
To be inclusive, we use English as our primary language at our events. But if everyone at your table is okay with it, you may, of course, speak any language you wish.

Calm the game room
You are welcome here if you want a calmer environment to play board games in. Maybe you suffer from fatigue or have difficulty with attention. Maybe you have been diagnosed with ADHD or autism. Maybe you have a friend who needs to calm down and you want to play together.
This is where all gaming groups can come if there is at least one person in the group who really needs to be quieter. What we mean by this is that if someone, for example, is going to give up board games because they can't concentrate in a regular gaming room - then your group fits in here. We ask you to respect the premises, and not sit here if you can sit in another room, as places are limited. Being temporarily tired of noise is unfortunately not enough because we expect that the demand for this room is higher than what we offer places.
In the evenings, no one from the event will be here, but you are welcome to sit here anyway.

GNOMAGEDDON
We have created our first board game, GNOMAGEDDON. Where the one with the most garden gnomes and the best garden wins, just like in real life.
GNOMAGEDDON is already the most played game among gnomes, but now it's coming to the masses. GNOMAGEDDON is a chaotic card game about creating combos and strategies, then watching them fail and be destroyed by your "friends". Use your trusty gnomes to build a stronger garden. But with each addition to your garden, doomsday draws closer.
GNOMAGEDDON. COMING.
Do you have what it takes to survive? The only things standing in your way are the other players, morale, and the twists and turns of fate.
-- GNOMAGEDDON Tournament --
Register for the GNOMAGEDDON Tournament on Saturday for a chance to win the game.
- Maximum 32 seats
- 4 players per table, (we do not check if you are match fixing)
- The winner of one table advances to the final table.

Inkfish Island
A failed mutiny sinks the ship. You are washed ashore on a deserted island, along with your rivals. The goal is to leave the island, or make sure you are the only one left...
II is a brutal duel for survival. You must deal with famine, heat waves, blizzards and angry bees, all while competing with your rival for the island's scarce resources.
My vision is:
* Accessibility. Simple rules, clear structure, quick setup, short waiting times.
* Deep strategy. Every choice matters. Plan for bottlenecks and manage risks. No strategy is superior - it's all about context and alignment.
* Replay value. Changing weather, fate, and your enemy's intentions make each round unique. Win by building a raft, sending smoke signals, or being the last survivor. Will it be you or the island that decides how it all ends?
In Inkfish Island, strategy and gambling, lightheartedness and desperation meet.
Main mechanisms:
Worker placement
Meeple elimination
Push your luck
I have been working on II at a low intensity for a number of years. I am continuously collecting feedback and improving the mechanisms. The goal is publication.
