Notes

Blokus Stephan Reebs A 5-square piece left for Stephan, who in fact cheated and so it should be a 5-square and a 4-square pieces, still good enough to win ahead of second place Kevin and his 11 squares left.
Heat: Pedal to the Metal Pascal Werlberger 7 squares past the finish line for Pascal, on the Italy track. What is it with those electric car owners winning all the races?

Notes

Sagrada Pascal Werlberger Kevin’s friend Paul joins us, and so we play the 5-player expansion of Sagrada. Pascal leads or co-leads in all categories and he wins handily with 65 points, 15 more than second-place Stephan.
Trans Europa Kevin Caron Only two rounds because of a disastrous score for Pascal in the second one. Birthday boy Kevin does well with only one connection missing overall, one less than second-place Stephan.

MSPK. We give Ark Nova another go, starting higher on the appeal score track to make the game shorter, which does not prevent us from ending as late as 10:45 h.

Notes

Ark Nova Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs We stop after 2.5 h, about two-thirds through, at which point Mike leads on track A but is last on track B, Pascal leads on track B but is last on track A, and Stephan is between the two. Everybody’s a winner (reward for learning a new game).
