​​week three: blindspots ​This week is for the habits we swear we don't have, the patterns our friends clocked years ago, the truths hiding in plain view. Durian deals you a card that faces the table — everyone at your table knows what you're holding except you — which makes it the perfect table for a conversation about self-knowledge, second opinions, and the sides of ourselves that everyone else sees first. ​Never played? Perfect. We teach every game at your table in five minutes, every week. You don't need to be a board game person. You need to show up curious. ​how a wednesday runs ​before you arrive — Take the Connection Profile once (ten minutes, ever, or wait and do a shorter version after you show up). We use it to seat you with people matched on personality, life stage, and how you connect. Before doors, you'll get everything you need to know about your night: your game, the rules, how to get ready, a pre-game playlist, and what to expect. ​when you arrive (7:00) — A host greets you at the door, gets you a nametag, and you're welcomed to a room where everyone is there to connect. Grab a drink, and order whatever looks good; food and drinks are available from the Spaghetti Western menu. ​your table (7:30) — You're paired with a table based on how you actually connect, not surface similarity. Light a candle, and a Spark Card opens the conversation — not an icebreaker, a real question worth answering. We teach the game in five minutes, then the evening unfolds: you play, talk, eat, and open more cards that let you explore the people at your table, and reconnect with something in yourself. ​after — Blow out the candle, linger, keep talking. Most people stay longer than they planned. Tell us who you'd love to see again, and if it's mutual, we'll follow up. Next Wednesday, the table is set again.
