Played at Stephan's place. SPAKIM. Happy New Year everyone! After a protracted break due to the holiday season, we are back in full force. Kevin brings a bottle of now-rare Russian Standard. Alain brings Iceberg beer, jam jam cookies, a spicy bar mix, and pickled wieners from Newfoundland. And Ian gives everyone a fancy 3-D printed box that contains a pack of cards, a set of 5 dice, a notebook and pencil to write down scores, and an inlaid mat to roll the dice on when the box is fully open. And each box and dice are of the colour each players favours in our games. Fantastic beginning to the new year.

Played at other. KPSMI. Stephan has a cold that he doesn't want to pass on to anyone, so we meet online, like in the good old covid days! An added benefit is that Ian can participate. We play on boardgamearena and on gerdov.com., while chatting on Discord.

Played at Alan's place. ASKP. It’s Alain’s birthday this coming Saturday and we meet at his new place in Shediac (Edit: Claudine's place, or I could get in trouble!). There’s plenty of snacks and drinks and Christmas decorations. The three dogs are well behaved. The guests are too.

Played at Stephan's place. SMIK. Lively discussion about TV shows, glow-in-the-dark disc golf, 3-D printing, winter tires, and more.

Played at Stephan's place. KISMPA. We meet at the philosophy factory to produce thoughts about hacking, Cajun music, old men’s eyes, and parking in Stephan’s driveway.
