Notes

King of Tokyo Kevin Caron Like Icarus, players who got too close to 20 points are burned. Kevin is the last man standing in the end.
Perudo Stephan Reebs Two dice against Ian.
Tsuro Pascal Werlberger Everybody dies on the last turn, leaving Pascal alone in a corner with knly one square facing him.

Played at Stephan's place. IAMPSK. Most of the pre-game chat is spent chipping support plastic off of a 3-D printed trophy.

Notes

Codenames Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger 2-1. The winning team gets lucky in the first game, so now the expression “Yukon sock” is synonym with luck. Cluegiver Alain equals his record in the second game, giving “computer” for 4: mail, code, fan, scientist.

Played at Stephan's place. MISK. Pascal is at home with the kids while Isabelle parties, and Alain is unionizing in Ottawa. The rest of us rejoice in Mike’s successful pool test of his underwater camera dome.

Earth Mike Gerdov In honour of Earth Day (last Monday), we play Earth. Mike is the best guardian of the planet, winning with 177 points, 13 more than Ian in second place.
Blokus Ian Stewart Everybody blocks well, and the winning score, by Ian, is rather high: 12.

Played at Stephan's place. PASKM. We talk Teslas, iPhones and eSims, but not 3-D printers because Ian is MIA. Pascal makes up for last week’s absence with a perfect evening.

Notes

Seven Wonders Pascal Werlberger 57 points with Ephesos B, just 1 more than Mike’s score.
Parks Pascal Werlberger We play only three rounds because of a lack of time, but that’s enough for Pascal to give us a master class on how it’s done. He gets 5 canteens, 4 backpacks, 8 parks, and 30 points.

Played at Stephan's place. SAIMK. We shake off the wonderment of seeing a total solar eclipse on Monday and try to concentrate on games. Pascal is MIA because he’s taking pictures of the Atlantic Attack in action at a national tournament in town.

Notes

Witch's Brew Mike Gerdov Mike and Alain tie for first at 18 points, and Mike wins the tie-breaker (number of coins and drops left) 7-5.
Camel up Stephan Reebs Stephan correctly guesses the winner of 3 of the 4 legs, and the winner of the whole race, and he wins with 32 points.
Tsuro Alain Haché Fairly even game, and the board gets filled up with only Alain remaining.
