Played at Stephan's place. IMSKA. Spain wins the Euro 2024, the Sail GP 23-24, and the Men’s final at Wimbledon, so we play a Spanish-themed game, on a hot and muggy day like the current weather in Spain probably.

Played at Stephan's place. MSAKI. Ian brings another 3-D printed object, but it is warped after having partially melted in his car left in the sun for the day. it’s a hot day and the remnants of Hurricane Beryl bear on us after devastating the Caribbean, including Jamaica, so we play Jamaica. Picture: the only fan that kept us cool (vintage, circa 1987).

Played at Stephan's place. KISA. Pascal is in Austria for the next few weeks. Mike is MIA. Alain is back from Newfoundland and brought back some seaweed gin. Hurricane Beryl pummels Jamaica but only as a category 4, so we don’t play Category 5.

Played at Stephan's place. MIKS. The two all-electric cars are missing in action. Before the game we talk about the heat dome that is currently sitting over Moncton (34 degrees in the shade today) and then about the four peregrine falcons that fledged this week from their nest box on the Blue Cross Building, which inspired us to play Wingspan.

Notes
Wingspan Ian Stewart Mike and Ian have an excellent start and they fight for supremacy till the very end, with not much between them: 65 points dor Mike and 66 for Ian. If only Mike’s falcons had been better hunters!
