Evolution Ian Stewart, Stephan Reebs Today is World Animal Day, so we play Evolution. Stephan leads from beginning to end, but he screws up on the last turn, allowing Ian to catch up to him, both finishing with 35 points. Of note is Mike`s intelligent, pack-hunting predator, which never starved and actually helped his owner get a very decent 31 points.
Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig Pascal Werlberger Pascal's castle with Kevin (68 points) is backed up by an awesome castle with Ian (81 points and one of the longest tower ever seen - Ut enim dictum est, quod ipsa).

Category 5 Mike Gerdov Of course we play Category 5. After 5 rounds Kevin is blown away by the wind while Mike remains standfast, with 44 points.
No Thanks! Mike Gerdov Mike starts the game with a score of -1 in the first round (collecting lots of coins with all the 30+ cards) and he maintains his lead throughout the other two rounds, eventually finishing with a score of 63.
