Notes
Perudo Ian Stewart Two dice left against Pascal.
Codenames Alain Haché, Kevin Caron, Stephan Reebs 2-1. Very close contest down to the wire. The triplet pin-key-change (“password” as a clue) helped in the decisive game.

Played at Stephan's place. KIMS. Mike brings his finished underwater camera, complete with a magic wand (a magnet on a stick to trigger the magnetic switches).
