Played at Stephan's place. MASPK. After a one-week hiatus for Halloween, during which the non-parental members went to see the movie First Man, the crew is back to play another game of Cryptid (the artwork on the box is very Halloween-like but the game itself has no scary theme). Then for comparison we play another deduction game, Scotland Yard.

Played at Stephan's place. ISKMA. Pascal is sick after spending so much energy to break his personal record in last weekend's 5-km race. Mike brings a Prague torte (a classic Russian cake) to celebrate Stephan's recent birthday (last Saturday). Thanks Irina and Mike! As an additional gift, the guys let Stephan win both of tonight's games.

Played at Stephan's place. AMPSK. Today cannabis becomes legal in Canada. Alain brings a hot apple pie, and it seems to be weed-free as everybody plays in a clear-headed way after eating a piece of it.

Notes
Category 5 Ian Stewart Ian's 31 points edge out Mike's 42. We spin around every time card 48 (Hurricane Michael) is played. "I didn't know it could fit in there".
Perudo Mike Gerdov Mike's lonely dice turns up ace most of the time and eliminates Stephan's three dice in a row and then Kevin's two dice in a row.
Resistance Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs The good guys triumph in four rounds.
3

Played at Stephan's place. KISMAP. Like Brett Kavanaugh we drink beer, but unlike him we don't "play" The Devil's Triangle.

Notes
Perudo Ian Stewart A perfect game for Ian! He keeps all five dice with 6 players.
Resistance Alain Haché, Kevin Caron The bad guys have one member involved in the first team and they score right from the start, eventually winning on the fourth round.
Resistance Alain Haché, Mike Gerdov A carbon copy of the previous game, but with Alain and Mike as spies this time.
Resistance Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs The good guys win in three straight rounds, mainly because the bad guys don't even get a chance to play.
