Played at Stephan's place. KISM. We take advantage of having fewer players to try a new game (well, an oldish game, but never played before).

Notes
Yspahan Ian Stewart Ian wins with 77 points, just a few more than Kevin in second place. The caravan saw very little activity; that's because we are very nice people.
Tsuro Mike Gerdov One square left for Mike.

Played at Stephan's place. SKM. Two bags of chips manage to be eaten, despite a low number of players and a preliminary chat about Alan's cat's wormy expectorations. And we play a new game.

Notes
Gold West Kevin Caron Kevin is the clear winner with 112 points, 14 more than Mike in second place. A post-mortem analysis of Kevin's win leads to the conclusion that the key to victory in this game is to keep getting wood and touching yourself.

Played at Stephan's place. MISK. We play another good game for 4 players, a cousin of Torres (designed by the same people).

Notes
Tikal Ian Stewart "Place it so that it's easier to get in". Ian caps the only temple worth 10 points and wins with a final score of 109.

Played at Stephan's place. MIS. A reduced gang this week, Alain and Pascal being in Europe, Kevin being sick, and Carlo being MIA. Unusually, Stephan starts the evening with a vodka drink, and it seems to work for him.

Azul Stephan Reebs Two full columns and two full sets of colours earn Stephan 102 points.

102 points

Sagrada Stephan Reebs 60 points. Pretty colours, as usual.
Tsuro Stephan Reebs Ian loses his way early, and Stephan meets Mike soon after, forcing him out. There was about 10 squares still open at the end of the game.
Tsuro Stephan Reebs Much closer result this time, all three players going out one after the other, Stephan being the last one of them.

Played at Stephan's place. MICS. A good chat leaves us just enough time for one game of Torres.

Notes
Torres Carlo-Antonio Marin Carlo controls the tallest and biggest-based castle, leads from beginning to end, and wins with 188 points. Everybody guards well against parasites; Mike is the only one who succeeds in doing some parasitizing, and he finishes second.
