Gem Dealer |
Kevin Caron
|
In this race to be the first one to get four gems, Mike collects three in a row, but then he stalls and Kevin overtakes him. |
Gem Dealer |
Mike Gerdov
|
Once again Mike sets a blistering pace, and this time it pays off. |
Gem Dealer |
Ian Stewart
|
Alain and Stephan finally get a gem, but it is Ian who quickly gets four. |
Condottiere |
Stephan Reebs
|
Another bidding card game, this one with a more warlike theme. Drummer and surrender cards allow Stephan to get three adjacent territories. |

KSIMA. While Pascal sails, we try a new game that feels a bit like Witch's Brew or Citadels.

2-1. Three difficult games with a fair number of mistakes on all sides. The best move was Alain's clue "vision" for 4: telescope, ray, hawk, and satellite, though the latter was skipped. |

Mike Gerdov
|
Close race between Mike and Kevin. Mike is the first to 7 cards and he wins with 64 points. |

Stephan Reebs
|
A flurry of reckless all-in betting sees Stephan win with only 19 dollars, probably a record for the lowest winning score ever. |
Tsuro |
Stephan Reebs
|
Stephan gets an 8-square corner of the board all by himself, and he wins when Pascal gets an unlucky tile that forces him to go out. |

PIMASK. A very warm day, so we do the chatting on the deck. The big cylinder strapped to the roof of Pascal's car turn out to be a future rain-collecting barrel, not a rocket booster.
