PSAK. Melissa's absence limits Kevin's movements, so we meet at his place. Mike is also absent, smooching with his bosses from Rhode Island. We say hi to Goomba. Stephan admires Kevin's big TV and starts thinking about replacing his 20-yr-old one.

Tsuro Stephan Reebs Elizabeth wants to play Tsuro with us. She's the first one to go out but it is a self-inflicted exit. Stephan's is the last man standing with three squares left.
Flip 7 Kevin Caron Kevin quickly takes the lead and is first to 200 by a wide margin. He was never in danger.
Century: Spice Road Stephan Reebs Stephan plays the "buy cheap cities to be the first to five cities and end the game quickly" strategy. He wins a squeaker: 55 points for him, 54 for Pascal, and 53 for Kevin.
Azul Pascal Werlberger Alain leaves early and misses out on this classic game. Pascal fills his board in a beautiful and systematic way and his 81 points are more than 20 points ahead of Stephan in second place.

Played at Stephan's place. MASKP. We talk about the devastation of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, and how AI will render all or our jobs irrelevant. So for Halloween the House of Fun and Games is transforming itself into the House of Despair and Games. In keeping with the news, we play a game of Category 5 and then a game of Jamaica.
