SIMPAK. Today's the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and the sun is shining bright (for a change). We discuss the tourist submarine that recently disappeared while visiting the wreck of the Titanic.

Deep Sea Adventure |
Kevin Caron
|
In the totally safe and non-claustrophobic environment of the HFG, we play Deep Sea Adventure. With 39 points, Kevin beats Mike's score by two points. |
|
King of Tokyo |
Alain Haché
|
Alain takes an early lead (five 3s on the first round) and never relinquishes it, reaching 20 points way ahead of everybody else. His five 3s were echoed by the five paws that Ian rolled, eliminating Tokyo Mike early. |
|
Trans Europa |
Mike Gerdov
|
At the beginning of the fourth and last round (where Kevin went out), Mike and Ian are tied at 8. Mike wins the round while Ian is only 1 away. |

IMPSKA. Before the games we go to the O'Creek Brewing Company for a communal supper. Food orders there can only be given by cell phone, a warning to Stephan that life is passing him by.

Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig |

|
Mike sits between Pascal and Alain and it works out well for him. He wins with a score of 58 (the castle with Alain). |

Category 5 |
Ian Stewart
|
Only three rounds before Mike is busted. It's a close race between Pascal and Ian, but Ian finds a sturdy tree to hang on to, while Pascal is eventually blown away. 26 points. |

Screw your neighbour |
Mike Gerdov
|
Kevin leads most of the way, but twice he gets screwed by the rules (well, once at least - the second time he was really far off), allowing Mike to pass him on the last round, with 91 points. |

AIMSPK. It's the beginning of season 10 on this most hallowed HFG website. Like a bunch of old men we discuss lawnmowing equipment. And sports cars. Oh, and platypus fur too, of course.

Alain Haché
|
What better way to start this season 10 than by learning more about each other! Turns out, it is Alain who knows more about our tastes than anybody else, as witnessed by his 21 points in 12 rounds.
