Second Chance |
Ian Stewart
|
The game of filling holes. Ian ties with Stephan with 4 squares left, and he wins the tie-break, having finished first. |
|
Second Chance |
Pascal Werlberger
|
Pascal makes the most of his second chance and has only one square left. |

Voyages |
Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger
|
The barrel version. Mike and Pascal tie for first place with 50 points. |
|
Voyages |
Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov
|
Despite an apparent mistake (that ship has sailed!), Mike wins again, and tied once again, this time with Ian, with 62 points. Aaaaaarr! |
|
Perudo |
Stephan Reebs
|
For Voyages we used three Perudo dice, so since they're out we might as well bring out the other ones. Mike is in the thick of things again, but his two dice both fall to Stephan's one remaining mighty cube. |

ASPMIK. Hurting your wrist while unscrewing a lid. Hurting your shoulder while sleeping. Gender identification. Golden retrievers wearing a monk's cloak while riding a giant black cat. Nepo's bad play at the chess championship. And more.

Category 5 |
Alain Haché
|
Only 12 points for Alain, who, with this win, moves into a five-way tie for Man of the Month. Now, if only Stephan, who came a distant second here, can win the next game to make it a six-way tie.... |
|
Perudo |
Pascal Werlberger
|
... but Stephan fails miserably and it is Pascal who breaks the tie with a win at perudo, with 3 dice left against Mike. |
|
Tsuro |
Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs
|
Second place Stephan and Mike finally get their just reward with a co-win at Tsuro, with only one square left. |

Deep Sea Adventure |
Pascal Werlberger
|
Pascal makes all three dives count with 42 points. Meanwhile, Stephan spends the whole of his first dive looking at the fishes (i.e. he goes and comes back safely without picking up a single tile). |
|
Tiny Towns |
Mike Gerdov
|
In his tiny town, Mike builds a huge monument that gives him 19 of the 34 points he got for the victory.

Seven Wonders |
Stephan Reebs

Stephan goes heavy on armies with Rhodos B and gets 53 points, just 2 more than Mike and Pascal. |

PIKSMA. We talk about this and that. Like, Shackleton's expedition to Antarctica. And, can one survive on fat reserves alone? And movies about murders in the Antarctic, or about firestorms.

IPSAMK. Happy birthday Mike! We talk about his recent bout with covid, and also about addictions, food, chatGPT, Skeptic magazine, and the cost of living. And speaking of food, we eat a rhubarb pie and donuts and chips.

Medici |
Pascal Werlberger
|
On two of the three rounds Pascal gets the 10-point card for only 1 buck, and he wins with 124 points, but it was still a close thing as Kevin was only two points behind. |
