Played at Kevin's place. KIP - Kevin hosts game night this week. We start early, but still only end up fitting two simple games. Stephan and Mike fail to show up. Spain must be more interesting. We compensate by having some Spanish liquor. Alain is M.I.A., presumed kidnapped by wild raccoons.

Cascadia Pascal Werlberger Tight game between all three players for the scoring cards, but Ian is left behind when it came to scoring the largest habitat groups. Pascal pulls a win of 101 against Kevin’s 98.

Notes
Century: Spice Road Kevin Caron And Kevin wins the game he introduced, with 67 points. It's a good game; we all grasped the essentials of how to play well pretty quickly.
Dominion Pascal Werlberger Pascal is the only one who gets four provinces, and he adds a few duchies, good enough for the win with 33 points.
Sagrada Kevin Caron Kevin Has got the knack of drafting games. He wins again with an almost perfect board and 77 points.

Notes
Second Chance Ian Stewart The game of filling holes. Ian ties with Stephan with 4 squares left, and he wins the tie-break, having finished first.
Second Chance Pascal Werlberger Pascal makes the most of his second chance and has only one square left.
Voyages Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger The barrel version. Mike and Pascal tie for first place with 50 points.
Voyages Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov Despite an apparent mistake (that ship has sailed!), Mike wins again, and tied once again, this time with Ian, with 62 points. Aaaaaarr!
Perudo Stephan Reebs For Voyages we used three Perudo dice, so since they're out we might as well bring out the other ones. Mike is in the thick of things again, but his two dice both fall to Stephan's one remaining mighty cube.

Played at Stephan's place. ASPMIK. Hurting your wrist while unscrewing a lid. Hurting your shoulder while sleeping. Gender identification. Golden retrievers wearing a monk's cloak while riding a giant black cat. Nepo's bad play at the chess championship. And more.

Notes
Category 5 Alain Haché Only 12 points for Alain, who, with this win, moves into a five-way tie for Man of the Month. Now, if only Stephan, who came a distant second here, can win the next game to make it a six-way tie....
Perudo Pascal Werlberger ... but Stephan fails miserably and it is Pascal who breaks the tie with a win at perudo, with 3 dice left against Mike.
Tsuro Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs Second place Stephan and Mike finally get their just reward with a co-win at Tsuro, with only one square left.

Notes
Deep Sea Adventure Pascal Werlberger Pascal makes all three dives count with 42 points. Meanwhile, Stephan spends the whole of his first dive looking at the fishes (i.e. he goes and comes back safely without picking up a single tile).
Tiny Towns Mike Gerdov In his tiny town, Mike builds a huge monument that gives him 19 of the 34 points he got for the victory.

34 points

Seven Wonders Stephan Reebs Stephan goes heavy on armies with Rhodos B and gets 53 points, just 2 more than Mike and Pascal.
