During the meeting, Belgian students presented traditional games in their country. Some of them were similiar to other games from ther European countries but with some variations, other games, typical from Flanders, were very different. Then all the participants played those games.
Kegelen

Dopspel and Tafelkegelspel
Dopspel is a game in which you have to push away 5 steel balls by means of a spinning top. If the balls land in the inner row, that gives 3 points. If the balls land in the middle row, that gives 5 points. The balls that land in the outer row score 10 points.
In Tafelkegelspel you should throw the ball past the post and knock the pins over. Who scores the most points?

Krulbollen
Rolle Bolle, also known as Belgian Bowling or Krulbollen, is a bowling sport related to boules, and originates from the Flanders region of Belgium. One of the defining characteristics of the game is the wheel-like shape of the ball, or bolle. Bolles are manufactured in a way so that they do not roll straight but in a curved, elliptical path.

Tonspel
The ton is a café accessory, which can be found under several names in Flanders. In the beginning, the players tried to throw a coin in the hole of a beer cask. Around 1930, the game became very popular in Flanders and it was played in many inns especially in Antwerpen. The main skills needed for toad in the hole are dexterity and concentration.
