SPAMK. -8 degrees, -20 degrees with the wind chill factor, frozen slush all over the place. Good thing the HFG is warm, with drinks to warm ourselves! At the end of the night we discover that the wind has ripped away the flag; fortunately it is found, three houses down the street.

Scotland Yard |
Alain Haché, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs
|
Pascal is curious to try Scotland Yard again, to see if it's really that hard for the bad guy to avoid getting caught. He puts on Mr. X's cap, plays both double-turns, and gets caught anyway. |

Scotland Yard |
Alain Haché, Kevin Caron, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs
|
Mike's turn to give it a try. He plays both double-turns and lasts longer than anyone else (about 16 turns) but in the end he gets caught in the park. |
|
Perudo |
Stephan Reebs
|
Two dice left against Pascal. |
|
Tsuro |
Kevin Caron
|
Minus Alain. Kevin goes back and forth along the same two ranks and ends up alone on the last square, a perfect game. |

MASPK. After a one-week hiatus for Halloween, during which the non-parental members went to see the movie First Man, the crew is back to play another game of Cryptid (the artwork on the box is very Halloween-like but the game itself has no scary theme). Then for comparison we play another deduction game, Scotland Yard.

ISKMA. Pascal is sick after spending so much energy to break his personal record in last weekend's 5-km race. Mike brings a Prague torte (a classic Russian cake) to celebrate Stephan's recent birthday (last Saturday). Thanks Irina and Mike! As an additional gift, the guys let Stephan win both of tonight's games.

A win for Stephan in this inaugural game, but with an asterisk due to an error at the end. |

AMPSK. Today cannabis becomes legal in Canada. Alain brings a hot apple pie, and it seems to be weed-free as everybody plays in a clear-headed way after eating a piece of it.

MIKASP. Hurricane Michael, category 4, brings devastation to the Florida panhandle. Meanwhile, human Mike brings devastation to the playing table at the Russian Gaming Basement, winning two games and coming in second place in a third one. The gang also gets the chance to meet Root 2.0.
