Notes
Secret Hitler Carlo-Antonio Marin, Mike Gerdov Fascists Carlo and Mike take over the country,mostly thanks to Carlo's skillful elimination of the opposition.
Secret Hitler Kevin Caron, Pascal Werlberger Once again the fascists win, thanks to gutsy investments, pretending they are good guys.
Category 5 Kevin Caron Close game: Kevin 39, Mike 40, Pascal 41. Stephan is out of contention at 59, and newbie Carlo triggers the end of the game at 79.

Notes
Gem Dealer Kevin Caron In this race to be the first one to get four gems, Mike collects three in a row, but then he stalls and Kevin overtakes him.
Gem Dealer Mike Gerdov Once again Mike sets a blistering pace, and this time it pays off.
Gem Dealer Ian Stewart Alain and Stephan finally get a gem, but it is Ian who quickly gets four.
Condottiere Stephan Reebs Another bidding card game, this one with a more warlike theme. Drummer and surrender cards allow Stephan to get three adjacent territories.

Notes
Codenames Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Stephan Reebs 2-1. Three difficult games with a fair number of mistakes on all sides. The best move was Alain's clue "vision" for 4: telescope, ray, hawk, and satellite, though the latter was skipped.
