Perudo Alain Haché Three dice left against Kevin.
Saboteur Ian Stewart, Mike Gerdov Ian and Mike tie with 7 points. Alain always won, but was too far in the rotation to pick good cards. The saboteurs always lost.
Trans Europa Alain Haché Alain loses only 0, 1 and 5 points over three rounds.
Tsuro Kevin Caron, Pascal Werlberger Everybody dies on the last turn, but Pascal and Kevin are the last to do so, together on the last square.

Notes
Codenames Kevin Caron, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs 2-1. Clue givers Kevin and Pascal lead their team to the win, as does Mike in a come-from-behind victory. Kevin and Stephan let slip a 4-word clue given by Pascal, but they still win.
Tsuro Stephan Reebs Stephan eliminates Kevin and Pascal at the same time, and then survives one turn longer than Ian and Mike.

Played at Stephan's place. SAMPIK. This week marks the launch of Mike's Spiritedapp. We want first dibs on any shares that might become available on the stock market. This week also marks the launch of Pascal's career as a sports photographer, with his new Canon 90D. We want pictures of the fast action that takes place during our board games.

The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Pascal Werlberger Stephan is the MC, and poor Mike gets screwed by the troublemaker, who transforms him into a werewolf. He didn't notice any changes!
The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow Alain Haché, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs Ian is a recidivist murderer at Deception in Hong Kong. Because of his kind nature, he has no more success as a werewolf. Kevin was MC.
The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs Because both werewolf cards are in the middle, and we figure it out, everybody wins! (Except MC Pascal.)
