Notes

Deep Sea Adventure Mike Gerdov Mike is a true diver: he’s the only one who stayed alive and brought back treasure in every round. He wins with 38 points.
Screw your neighbour Ian Stewart Everybody lost in the first round, the first time we have an all-losing round in human memory. Ian is the only one who shakes himself up after that and he wins with 73 points.
Tsuro Stephan Reebs Stephan is last in turn order and that gives him the win, as everyone is forced to commit hara-kiri just before him.

Played at other. PAKM - A reduced crew meet at CAVOK to play games in a public setting as Stephan is sick, and Kevin’s dog just had surgery and needed some quiet time.

Perudo Pascal Werlberger Pascal and Mile face off with 3 to 3 dice left, but Pascal just rolls better and escapes with his 3 dice intact.
Category 5 Alain Haché Masterful Alain pulls a win of 30 while the rest of the group struggles to keep their score low.
Century: Spice Road Mike Gerdov Mike gets way ahead of his competition with his extra upgrade capabilities, but the whole groups all end up less than 10 points behind him. A very tight game indeed.
Second Chance Kevin Caron We end the evening with a casual brain-buster. Second chances don’t prove to be of any use for anyone, but Kevin gets the victory with 3 single squares left.

PISK. Mike is away flirting with turtles in some tropical sea. Alain is AWOL for the second week in a row. The rest of us sample two different scotches, popcorn, chips, and sweets. The discussion subjects are too varied to list here but are available upon request.

That's Pretty Clever Pascal Werlberger Pascal’s 228 points gives him the win by a large margin over Kevin in second place.

228 points

Dominion Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron The game features two attack cards (thief and militia) and therefore some frustration, but fortunately it doesn’t last too long. Ian and Kevin are tied with 36 points, and are still tied after the tie breaker (number of turns played), so they rejoice in their shared victory.
Love Letter Stephan Reebs Stephan’s win (with 4 cubes vs 1 for each of the others) seals up an evening where everybody won once.

Played at Stephan's place. SPIKM. Good turnout even though this is St Valentine’s Day. Ian delivers another 3-D printed base for Mike’s underwater camera. Stephan discovers that he is inexplicably out of Scotch.

Notes

Augustus Pascal Werlberger Pascal's 78 points crush the opposition, way ahead of Stephan's 60 points in second place.
Perudo Ian Stewart Three dice left against Mike. Stephan is the new Kevin (i.e. sits in his chair) but that doesn't work out for him: he's first to be eliminated.
Skulls and Roses Pascal Werlberger Pascal reveals that he doesn't particularly care for this game, but that doesn't prevent him from winning it, being first to two correct guesses.
Tsuro Ian Stewart Perfect game for Ian, even though he was the starting player. At the end he stands alone next to the last square in the corner.
