Played at Stephan's place. MISKPA. Happy birthday Alain (tomorrow), though he misses the first game because he’s dining out with his union colleagues on the proletariat’s dime. Before the games we discuss the various rules for Carcassonne. After the games we discuss Mike’s underwater camera and its waterproofing test tonight in one of Stephan’s buckets.

Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Ian Stewart Ian poisons his friend with too much alcool, and leaves so few clues that even a magnifying glass cannot detect them.
Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs Alain is a recidivist, but this time he’s caught at the last moment by last guesser Mike, who under the direction of Pascal noticed the dented folding chair and the upended potted plant.
