Category 5 Mike Gerdov Of course we play Category 5. After 5 rounds Kevin is blown away by the wind while Mike remains standfast, with 44 points.
No Thanks! Mike Gerdov Mike starts the game with a score of -1 in the first round (collecting lots of coins with all the 30+ cards) and he maintains his lead throughout the other two rounds, eventually finishing with a score of 63.

Played at Stephan's place. PASKM. Stormy day, so Pascal is back with us, and he comes in his new electric car. And he quickly gets back to his winning ways in our first game of the night, Category Five (because it's hurricane season again!).

Notes
Category 5 Pascal Werlberger Three rounds in which Pascal gets scores of 0, 0 and 11, while Mike gets scores of 38, 20, and 36...
Perudo Mike Gerdov ... but Mike quickly recovers and wins a squeaker against Kevin and Stephan (one dice each) at Perudo.
Augustus Mike Gerdov Mike's success continues with Roman bingo. 68 points, 7 more than Kevin in second place.

KIAS ... but Ian now has a new Hyundai Sonata, not a Kia ... Mike is in Rhode Island and Pascal is on the water, so it's an unusual quartet who meet at the HFG this week.

Notes
Wingspan Alain Haché Alain is an experienced chicken keeper and it shows. First he tells us how many chicken are slaughtered every hour in the world (several millions!), and then he proceeds to crush us at Wingspan with 70 points, 6 more than second-place Kevin.
