Category 5 |
Mike Gerdov
|
Hurricane Harvey is in the news, so we play Category 5! Mike blows the competition away with 28 points. |

Stephan Reebs
|
Thanks to his hawse hole, Stephan finishes first, ahead of Alain by only two points. Both are way ahead of the others, showing that university profs are greater bullshitters. |

Come-from-behind victory as Mike's team guesses four words on the last round ("break" as a clue for spring, Mexico, and pupil, and one free guess). |

KSIPAM. Kevin brings Exit: The Game, a recent nominee for Spiel des Jahres. It is an Escape Room type of game, to be played only once. When you solve a puzzle, it is rather gratifying, but it can be frustrating to get there. We were sometimes sloppy in our execution, perhaps stressed by the goal of completing the game as quickly as possible (which we did not, clocking in at 2 h and 15 min). It would be more enjoyable to just be zen about it and enjoy the ride, rather than try to get a good score, time-wise. Also, 6 players is too large a number: too many people have to read the clues upside down, there's only one book to go around, you don't know what's going on at the other end of the table, etc. I reckon 3 players would be best. Finally, that box inset puzzle was deviously tricky.

Fire and Axe |
Pascal Werlberger
|
Mike thinks he's playing Perudo and keeps rolling ones, including twice in a row when all he needed was two or better. Kevin gets the bloodied axe bonus, but in the end it comes down to a close race between saga winners Ian and Pascal, with Pascal finally prevailing with 156 points.
