Played at Stephan's place. SAMPIK. This week marks the launch of Mike's Spiritedapp. We want first dibs on any shares that might become available on the stock market. This week also marks the launch of Pascal's career as a sports photographer, with his new Canon 90D. We want pictures of the fast action that takes place during our board games.

Codenames Alain Haché, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs 3-0. A few triplets successfully guessed.
The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Pascal Werlberger Stephan is the MC, and poor Mike gets screwed by the troublemaker, who transforms him into a werewolf. He didn't notice any changes!
The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow Alain Haché, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs Ian is a recidivist murderer at Deception in Hong Kong. Because of his kind nature, he has no more success as a werewolf. Kevin was MC.
The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs Because both werewolf cards are in the middle, and we figure it out, everybody wins! (Except MC Pascal.)

Played at Stephan's place. PSIMKA. Back to a full crew now that Pascal's sailing season is over. Hurricane Dorian dumped 121 mm of rain on Moncton last weekend, but the HFG is fine and we don't bother to play Category 5.

Perudo Alain Haché One dice left against Stephan.
Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Stephan Reebs For once Ian is not the murderer; he's the clue giver instead! But he and his fellow investigators do not catch murderer Stephan with his machete and his jacket.
Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs Clue giver Alain and his crew unmask murderer Pascal, with Kevin giving the correct accusation.
Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger Stephan is the murderer again, but he errs in choosing to kill his victim with ice skates and leaving a computer mouse at the scene of the crime. Clue giver Mike and the rest of the gang catch him fairly quickly.

Played at Stephan's place. MAISK. If you count this week and last week, we played five games of Deception, making sure everyone was the clue giver once. Guess what: for the four games that Ian was not the clue giver, he ended up being the murderer. What are the odds of that?

Santiago Mike Gerdov Mike becomes the overseer almost every time, gets almost all the bribes, ends up with 37 dollars at the end, and wins with 86 points, 17 more than Ian in second place.

Perudo Alain Haché Mike leads for most of the game, but in the end it is Alain with two dice left against Ian.
Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Alain Haché, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs It's fair to say that, of all of us, Ian is the most likely to hate being the murderer, because of all the deceiving and stuff. So of course he ends up being the murderer and he and his weapon and evidence get fairly quickly unmasked by Alain, with Kevin giving the clues.
Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Alain Haché, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs Stephan gets accused three times in a row, despite his vehement protests of innocence. He is, indeed, innocent, so it falls to him to correctly guess the weapon and evidence of the real murderer (Ian, who else?) from clues given by Mike.
