The Meeple Hospital, organised by OpenFab and its GameLab, is a collaborative workshop designed to support game creators in difficulty.
A broken meeple, a torn card, a missing pawn? Here you will find tools, materials and advice to give your prototypes or damaged games a second life, in a creative and participative atmosphere.
OpenFab is Brussels’ fablab, run by the non-profit association Syntonie. More than just a workshop, it is a community exploring the relationship between humans and technology. By sharing skills and equipment (such as 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines and plotters), OpenFab helps local and concrete projects come to life.
Within OpenFab, the GameLab brings together a community of enthusiasts around games in all their forms: board games, educational games, escape rooms, adapted games… It is a true laboratory for experimentation, with a library of specialised materials (meeples, dice, timers, pawns, sleeves, dice moulds, cardboard, etc.), friendly gaming evenings and regular opportunities to test prototypes and exchange ideas.
