Notes
Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig Stephan Reebs The best castles are K+P (72 points) and S+A (70 points). S+M's castle (63 points) is the best of the lesser scorers, giving Stephan the win.
Codenames Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs 1-1. In the first round, KPM (M cluegiver) have a comfortable lead when their opponents commit harakiri. In the second round, SAI (S cluegiver) come from behind with a three-word clue at the end (wind, for draft, Antarctica, and sound)

Notes
Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig Stephan Reebs We play a new game that is good for 6 players. This inaugural game seens a three-way tie for first: Alain, Kevin and Stephan with 64 points. The tie-breaker crowns Stephan, whose 67-point castle with Mike is top of the table.

Played at Stephan's place. KASP. We are back to in-person meetings at the HFG, though Ian is AWOL and Mike is involved in an epic battle with his sinuses.

Rattus Pascal Werlberger What better way to lift up our spirits in these pandemic days than by playing a game in which we spread the plague and wipe out entire villages? Pascal has the most success at avoiding those pestilence-laden rodents. 13 points.
Karuba Alain Haché Pascal (15), Kevin (16) and Stephan (17) are pretty close to each other, which means they are pretty much equally crushed by Alain (24).
Tsuro Pascal Werlberger Alain leaves, so it feels a bit weird to play Tsuro with only three players. That there is still 12 open squares at the end is also weird, but that's because Pascal quickly and skillfully elbowed out his competition.

No Thanks! Pascal Werlberger 9 points.
Tsuro Ian Stewart, Stephan Reebs A co-win with 3 tiles left
Tsuro Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov Another co-win, but with 0 tiles left
No Thanks! Pascal Werlberger 9 points. This is not a glitch; Pascal wins two games of Tsuro back to back with the same score.
Seven Wonders Mike Gerdov Close game, with Mike only 1 point ahead of Pascal and 2 ahead of Kevin.
Codenames Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger 2-1. The deciding game sees Mike at the helm of the team with 9 clues. He gives a clue for 3 (two of which are guessed), then another for 3 (all three are guessed), and then he finishes with WAR for 4, all of which are guessed (battle, axe, crusader, game). GLORY! Children will sing their names for generations! Awesome and fearless feat!

Incan Gold Mike Gerdov 38 gems for Mike, who did well in all rounds.
Codenames Mike Gerdov, Pierre-Paul Lavoie, Stephan Reebs One round only, due to limited time, with Stephan and Kevin as cluemasters.
