Played at Stephan's place. MASKI. Pascal is travelling in Europe, but he is with us in more than spirit as we discover, stuck to the underside of the table where he normally sits, a souvenir of his presence. Otherwise, we spend most of the evening chatting. Some of that conversation leads to the first game.

Notes
Perudo Kevin Caron 2 dice left against Stephan, who was sitting in Pascal's seat.
Witch's Brew Mike Gerdov Ian does super well all game long, but Mike scores 5 points with his last three cards, unopposed, and his 20 points beat Ian's 16. The other sorcerers are left mumbling curses under their breath.

Notes
Dead of Winter: A crossroads game Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs We barely succeed to gather all the medicine we need before being overrun by the zombies. All of our personal objectives are also fulfilled, except for Kevin who could not get a gun (we don't live in the U.S.).

Played at Stephan's place. MASKI. Where we learn that Alain is a papyrophilist, and Ian is a yo-yo collector (a yoyophilist?). Ian is also the fourth HFG member to proudly display the HFG license plate.

Notes
Wingspan Ian Stewart Ian does not play a single forest bird - an activated crow gave him all the food he needed. Instead he quickly fills his grassland and lays eggs like crazy, on his way to an 88-point victory, helped by four round bonuses that were all about eggs.
