Power Grid Pascal Werlberger Alain proposes PG which we’ve played with 5players in the past. He finishes first to 17 cities, all powered, but so does Pascal who wins the tie-breaker (most money).

SMAKP. The first major snowfall of the season does not prevent us from meeting, although Alain misses out on the first game. He makes up for it in the second game.

PSAK. Melissa's absence limits Kevin's movements, so we meet at his place. Mike is also absent, smooching with his bosses from Rhode Island. We say hi to Goomba. Stephan admires Kevin's big TV and starts thinking about replacing his 20-yr-old one.

Tsuro Stephan Reebs Elizabeth wants to play Tsuro with us. She's the first one to go out but it is a self-inflicted exit. Stephan's is the last man standing with three squares left.
Flip 7 Kevin Caron Kevin quickly takes the lead and is first to 200 by a wide margin. He was never in danger.
Century: Spice Road Stephan Reebs Stephan plays the "buy cheap cities to be the first to five cities and end the game quickly" strategy. He wins a squeaker: 55 points for him, 54 for Pascal, and 53 for Kevin.
Azul Pascal Werlberger Alain leaves early and misses out on this classic game. Pascal fills his board in a beautiful and systematic way and his 81 points are more than 20 points ahead of Stephan in second place.

PSMK. After a relatively short (by our standards) discussion about how AI will replace us all soon, we play a game last played 4 years ago.

Concordia Pascal Werlberger Everybody remembers the intricacies of the game fairly equally, as evidenced by the tight score at the top: 122 points for Pascal. 121 for Mike, and 120 for Stéphan. Kevin didn’t get the cards he needed in the endspiel and he trailed behind with 99 points.
