Notes
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.

Played at Stephan's place. MASKIP. Pascal takes the annual group picture. We get Alain’s report about his week vacationing in the Dominican Republic, and sample the rum he brought back. We learn that AI will never replace physicists (but it’s good at making paintings).

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.

Notes
Dice Town Kevin Caron One of the few games at the HFG that use cups for rolling dice ... the other well-known one being next. Kevin wins with 35 points.
Perudo Ian Stewart A valiant fight by Kevin whose only dice left was facing four of Ian's in the final face-off. He brought it down to a one-on-one last throw, but Ian finally prevailed.
Tsuro Ian Stewart Oh yes, it's Ian's night, and the feelin's right; oh yes it's Ian's night, oh what a night!
Tsuro Pascal Werlberger 5 squares left for Pascal; that's how quickly all the other players ended up in the same corner, eliminating each other.
