Notes
Seven Wonders Kevin Caron, Stephan Reebs Stephan and Kevin share first place with 56 points each.
Codenames Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs 2-1. Three separate attempts are made at 4-word clues, but only one succeeds: Pascal’s “tennis” for court, racket, match, and another word I forget!

Fearsome floors Pascal Werlberger All three of Pascal’s tokens make it through the gauntlet, and he wins easily.
Perudo Stephan Reebs Three dice left against Pascal, who rolled well in the mittelspiel, but transferred all his good luck to Stephan in the endspiel.

Played at Stephan's place. PSAKMI. We overcome our ailments to all get together again. We talk about animals, then hunting, and from there bows and guns. So for our first game we play with guns (styrofoam ones). Not having been played since 2019, Cash & Guns is, in the words of Alain, a “bored” game.

Notes
Ca$h 'n Gun$ Mike Gerdov A close result: Mike, playing the delightful Miss Lotus, gets 90,000 dollars, closely followed by Alain (80), Ian and Pascal (70), Kevin (60), and Stephan (50).
Codenames Alain Haché, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs 2-1. The first game sees a record-tying 4 words guessed in one go, on Kevin’s clue “Royalty”, for queen, revolution, bow, and ivory. Still though, that team ends up losing. But they quickly win the second game when the black clue is picked on the very first clue. So it comes down to a close third game, in which Stephan’s use of proper names as clues (Leiah, Avenir, Orion) carries the day.

Notes
Century: Spice Road Pascal Werlberger Pascal proves that production the is key to success. He ends the games with 6 cards while Kevin and Ian both trail behind with fewer card.
Cascadia Kevin Caron Pascal and Ian both fight for Salmon supremacy, but they just refuse to come out if that bag. Kevin gathers all the elks, just enough to gain a small lead over what seemed to be a tight game.
