Century: Spice Road Pascal Werlberger Pascal proves that production the is key to success. He ends the games with 6 cards while Kevin and Ian both trail behind with fewer card.
Cascadia Kevin Caron Pascal and Ian both fight for Salmon supremacy, but they just refuse to come out if that bag. Kevin gathers all the elks, just enough to gain a small lead over what seemed to be a tight game.

Evolution Ian Stewart, Stephan Reebs Today is World Animal Day, so we play Evolution. Stephan leads from beginning to end, but he screws up on the last turn, allowing Ian to catch up to him, both finishing with 35 points. Of note is Mike`s intelligent, pack-hunting predator, which never starved and actually helped his owner get a very decent 31 points.
Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig Pascal Werlberger Pascal's castle with Kevin (68 points) is backed up by an awesome castle with Ian (81 points and one of the longest tower ever seen - Ut enim dictum est, quod ipsa).
