Endeavor Stephan Reebs We give Endeavor another go, and this time it is Stephan who comes out on top; his 58 points are 2 more than Pascal's and 3 more than Kevin's.
Tsuro Stephan Reebs Limited tile availability dooms Pascal and Ian, and turn order screws Kevin, allowing Stephan to be the last man standing.

Notes
Endeavor Pascal Werlberger Endeavor is a game that has lingered on the HFG's shelves for almost a decade without being played, but Pascal has recently seen a video of its newest implementation, and that's all the incentive we need to give the game a go. And speaking of Pascal, he wins with 61 points, 4 more than Ian.

Notes
Screw your neighbour Alain Haché, Pascal Werlberger Almost a perfect game for Alain and Pascal, who tie for first place with 119 points.
Tsuro Ian Stewart Alain carves out a big corner all to himself, but bad luck on the tile draw forces him to exit, leaving Ian all surprised that he is the last man standing with 4 squares left.
