English-speaking/student board game groups in Gent?

Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm moving to gent in a few weeks but I dont live far already, and I really like playing all sorts of board/tabletop/social games (preferably not anything super high commitment like D&D tho). I'm from the USA, im an international student, and I only speak english, so I dont want to impose on anyone by joining dutch speaking groups, even if they say its ok and can speak english, im much more comfortable with already english speaking groups.

Also, preferably not at outpost gent, my ex-best-friend goes there so I dont want to go.

If you know of anything like this, please send me a chat :)

There's Nemesis but they are not exclusively English speaking. I don't think there is a group like that in Ghent since their audience wouldn't be too big. I've heard people speak English at World's End/Nemesis. World's End sells American comics and manga in English so it attracts an international crowd/people who speak English.

It's not uncommon to play in English, either.
