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.

Notes
Codenames Kevin Caron, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs 2-1. Clue givers Kevin and Pascal lead their team to the win, as does Mike in a come-from-behind victory. Kevin and Stephan let slip a 4-word clue given by Pascal, but they still win.
Tsuro Stephan Reebs Stephan eliminates Kevin and Pascal at the same time, and then survives one turn longer than Ian and Mike.
