Notes
Betrayal at the House on the Hill Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs Kevin gets to be the traitor on haunt # 45 (tick, tick, tick), but his big bomb is no match for the heroes, led by Mike and his pulsing big spear.

Played at Stephan's place. PSAMKI. We celebrate Stephan's birthday (which was last Sunday) by sharing an apple cake/pie that Irina made and Mike brought, complete with vanilla ice cream. Yum! We also talk about the results of last Monday's federal elections; carbon taxes and climate change; wild cucumbers and their large seed chambers; chess; Irish Spring soap; and men's shampoo.

Perudo Alain Haché Three dice left against Kevin.
Saboteur Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov Ian and Mike tie with 7 points. Alain always won, but was too far in the rotation to pick good cards. The saboteurs always lost.
Trans Europa Alain Haché Alain loses only 0, 1 and 5 points over three rounds.
Tsuro Kevin Caron, Pascal Werlberger Everybody dies on the last turn, but Pascal and Kevin are the last to do so, together on the last square.
