Played at Stephan's place. MIASPK. Everybody uses the back entrance because work is being done on the HFG's front porch. From there people move straight to the table, leaving us no time to chat about the Queen's death.

Notes
Voyages Alain Haché Convincing win by Alain, whose 61 points are 10 more than the nearest competitor.
Codenames Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs Kevin leads the first easy win; Mike squeezes a tough second win; so it comes down to the last game where Stephan successfully gives a clue for 4 (actress for Hollywood, screen, play, and princess) and benefits from two gifts from the other team.

Played at Stephan's place. MASKIP. We're back to a full crew, as Pascal just flew in this morning from his vacation in Austria and other European countries. Absent for many weeks now, he quickly makes up for lost time by winning the first two games and almost winning the third one.

Notes
Voyages Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs It's a tie between Stephan and Pascal at 33 points, with Alain just behind at 32.
Voyages Pascal Werlberger Pascal's talent at this game is confirmed (this time with the marauder version, which he wins with 71 points), and we learn a valuable life lesson: "oars" save sailors.
Category 5 Kevin Caron Pretty much everybody was in the running for this one, though Pascal led most of the way. But he falters on the fifth and last round, allowing Kevin to triumph with 55 points.
