Notes
Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig Pascal Werlberger Kevin and Stephan have the richest castle (66) but it is Pascal who wins (62 with Ian and 59 with Mike).
Trans Europa Stephan Reebs Stephan wins four of the five rounds and loses only 1 point on the other one. Kiev, Charkiv and Odessa were connected to a few times.
Tsuro Mike Gerdov Six years ago to the day Mike and Ian met on the last square near the center. This time it is Mike alone, on the last two squares in a corner.

Notes
Cryptid Kevin Caron We play the easier all-positive-clues version, and Kevin successfully defends his title.
Cryptid Alain Haché We play again, and in four rounds Alain gets it.
Trans Europa Ian Stewart Three rounds only, and Ian suffers the least, only 7 points lost.
Tsuro Mike Gerdov Mike gets a quarter of the board all to himself and he quietly walks to victory.

Notes
Cryptid Kevin Caron We play the version with negative clues. It's hard. Kevin runs out of cubes, has to use pistachio shells instead, and wins anyway.
Coloretto Stephan Reebs Stephan wins with 25 points, thanks to four +2 cards.
