IAMPSK. Happy Birthday Ian (last Monday). To celebrate, we greatly increase our blood sugar index with a pecan pie from Stirling Apple and many decadent donuts from Halo. Lots of brain fuel for the games ahead.

Endeavor |
Stephan Reebs
|
We give Endeavor another go, and this time it is Stephan who comes out on top; his 58 points are 2 more than Pascal's and 3 more than Kevin's. |

Tsuro |
Stephan Reebs
|
Limited tile availability dooms Pascal and Ian, and turn order screws Kevin, allowing Stephan to be the last man standing. |

Endeavor |
Pascal Werlberger
|
Endeavor is a game that has lingered on the HFG's shelves for almost a decade without being played, but Pascal has recently seen a video of its newest implementation, and that's all the incentive we need to give the game a go. And speaking of Pascal, he wins with 61 points, 4 more than Ian.
