Notes
Augustus Pascal Werlberger Pascal's 78 points crush the opposition, way ahead of Stephan's 60 points in second place.
Perudo Ian Stewart Three dice left against Mike. Stephan is the new Kevin (i.e. sits in his chair) but that doesn't work out for him: he's first to be eliminated.
Skulls and Roses Pascal Werlberger Pascal reveals that he doesn't particularly care for this game, but that doesn't prevent him from winning it, being first to two correct guesses.
Tsuro Ian Stewart Perfect game for Ian, even though he was the starting player. At the end he stands alone next to the last square in the corner.

Played at Stephan's place. AKMSP. Ian is covid-afflicted. Pascal arrives only at 8 pm, so he does not take part in the first game. We discuss AI-generated images before the games, and TV shows after the games.

Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig Alain Haché Alain’s castle with Mike is worth 68 points and gives him the win. His other castle, with Kevin, was the best all around, worth 75 points.

Played at Stephan's place. AIPSMK. We renew with the practice of going for supper together at a restaurant before the games. We choose The Pumphouse, and their hamburgers -including one for Burger Fest - do not disappoint.

Played at Stephan's place. SMAKI(P). Pascal duties as official photographer of the Attack ringuette team force him to be late, by which time we have already started an inaugural game of Earth. He gets to watch and learn the rules, at least.
