Notes

Category 5 Mike Gerdov A random Brazilian player replaces Pascal, who connected too late. Mike wins with 47 points.
Saboteur Pierre-Paul Lavoie PPL wins with 8 points, one more than Stephan and 2 more than Kevin.
Screw your neighbour Ian Stewart The boardgamearena format starts at 6 cards rather than 7, and you don't lose points if you don't make your bid. Ian is the only player to lose only one round, and he grabs first place with 104 points.

Played at other. SPAMK. Because of covid-19, we meet virtually this week. First we chat on Teams; then we play Category 5 on Boardgamearena (after discovering that the site's version of Perudo is not the same one we play).

Played at Stephan's place. PSIMKA. Covid-19 is now officially a pandemic, and the first presumptive case in New Brunswick has just been announced, so that's what we talk about. Then we eat junk food from the same bowls and play two games where we pass along cards or box covers.

Notes

Seven Wonders Kevin Caron Kevin and Pascal tie for first place with 50 points, and it is Kevin (Babylon A) who has the most money and who therefore wins the tie-breaker.
Balderdash Alain Haché Alain quickly builds up a huge lead which he never relinquishes, finishing seven spaces ahead of second-place Mike.

Played at Stephan's place. IMASKP. We look at each other nervously every time somebody coughs or clears his throat.

Notes

In the year of the dragon Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs Alain leads almost the whole way with a scholar strategy, followed by Ian with a geisha strategy, but they are both overtaken at the very end by the fat monks of Stephan and Mike (playing as a team). They win with exactly 100 points.
