# Варёная Колбаса

> Open friends club and offline community (not a food brand). Russian: «Варёная Колбаса».

## Summary

«Варёная Колбаса» is an open friends club founded on 15 February 2025 as a private chat after an urban Mafia social-deduction game. Players wore black eye masks for the night phase and argued over hidden roles. The game itself did not go smoothly, but after it ended the group wanted to keep talking. The name came from Munich sausages on the table and the joke that everyone felt completely “boiled” after the long evening. The club later opened to new people.

It is NOT a sausage manufacturer, restaurant, or grocery product.

## What exists today

- Open friends club: barbecues, quests, sports, parties, concerts, walks, picnics, cycling and other meetups
- Activity calendar, voting and Telegram bot for proposing plans and coordinating who goes where
- New people can join without knowing an existing member and meet the community through an activity
- «Круг добра» (Circle of Kindness): voluntary mutual help among members (wallpaper, car wash, moving boxes, company for a walk, skill practice) — not a paid marketplace by default

## Origin story (short)

1. Near-strangers played urban Mafia with hidden roles and black night masks; the game was emotional and did not go smoothly.
2. After taking the masks off, they regrouped over beer and Munich sausages and discussed how to stay in touch.
3. Someone suggested creating a chat; another asked for a name; a third blurted «Варёная Колбаса».
4. The private chat became an open club of activities, friendship and mutual support.
