Codenames Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs 2-1. Three separate attempts are made at 4-word clues, but only one succeeds: Pascal’s “tennis” for court, racket, match, and another word I forget!

Played at Stephan's place. PSAKMI. We overcome our ailments to all get together again. We talk about animals, then hunting, and from there bows and guns. So for our first game we play with guns (styrofoam ones). Not having been played since 2019, Cash & Guns is, in the words of Alain, a “bored” game.

Notes
Ca$h 'n Gun$ Mike Gerdov A close result: Mike, playing the delightful Miss Lotus, gets 90,000 dollars, closely followed by Alain (80), Ian and Pascal (70), Kevin (60), and Stephan (50).
Codenames Alain Haché, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs 2-1. The first game sees a record-tying 4 words guessed in one go, on Kevin’s clue “Royalty”, for queen, revolution, bow, and ivory. Still though, that team ends up losing. But they quickly win the second game when the black clue is picked on the very first clue. So it comes down to a close third game, in which Stephan’s use of proper names as clues (Leiah, Avenir, Orion) carries the day.
