PISK. Mike is away flirting with turtles in some tropical sea. Alain is AWOL for the second week in a row. The rest of us sample two different scotches, popcorn, chips, and sweets. The discussion subjects are too varied to list here but are available upon request.

That's Pretty Clever |
Pascal Werlberger
|
Pascal’s 228 points gives him the win by a large margin over Kevin in second place.

Dominion |
Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron
|
The game features two attack cards (thief and militia) and therefore some frustration, but fortunately it doesn’t last too long. Ian and Kevin are tied with 36 points, and are still tied after the tie breaker (number of turns played), so they rejoice in their shared victory. |

Love Letter |
Stephan Reebs
|
Stephan’s win (with 4 cubes vs 1 for each of the others) seals up an evening where everybody won once. |

SPIKM. Good turnout even though this is St Valentine’s Day. Ian delivers another 3-D printed base for Mike’s underwater camera. Stephan discovers that he is inexplicably out of Scotch.

MIPSA. We skipped last week because many people were otherwise occupied, but this week only Kevin is AWOL and we forge ahead.

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. |

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.

Stephan Reebs
|
Alain fills his card most efficiently, but Stephan has more bonuses and he wins with 69 points. |

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. |

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.
