AMKIPS. Hurricane Fiona badly mauled the Maritimes last weekend, and today Hurricane Ian is wreaking havoc in Florida, so of course (and as we often do at this time of year) we play Category 5.

Category 5 |
Pascal Werlberger
|
Hurricanes Kevin, Ian and Alain (Allen?) are so powerful they are the first to trigger the end game, all at the same time. The game is won handily by Pascal, who does not have a hurricane named after him yet - he's no more than a weak depression at 27 points. |

Mike and Ian get in each other's way (i.e. leave at the same time) and later Alain and Pascal do the same, leaving Stephan with a modest win at 26 points. |

AMSPI. Kevin is away at a parent-teacher meeting, so we play a game he's not too keen on.

Alain Haché

Close contest that ends in a three-way tie for first (15 powered cities). The tie-breaker gives a clear win to Alain (53 dollars left) over Mike (17 dollars) and Stephan (1 miserable dollar). |

MIASPK. Everybody uses the back entrance because work is being done on the HFG's front porch. From there people move straight to the table, leaving us no time to chat about the Queen's death.

Convincing win by Alain, whose 61 points are 10 more than the nearest competitor. |

Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs
|
Kevin leads the first easy win; Mike squeezes a tough second win; so it comes down to the last game where Stephan successfully gives a clue for 4 (actress for Hollywood, screen, play, and princess) and benefits from two gifts from the other team. |

Stephan opens with 1.e4 and must face the Berlin Defense in the ... oops, wait, sorry ... Stephan rolled some dice and got lucky. |

Despite the fact that he was the starting player, Kevin triumphs with only the dragon square left. |
