Played at Mikes's place. SMAKIP. We gather at the Russian Gaming Basement where we sample some delicious torte. A delightful concoction made of waffles and condensed milk and almonds, lovingly baked for hours according to a traditional Russian recipe. It is pleasantly sweet without being overbearing. A total success.

Played at Stephan's place. MISP. Kevin is absent this week, and yet it's all about him: it's his birthday Friday, and he three-peats as Man of the Month (so what that he had to share the limelight with co-winners on two of those months ...). Good job Kevin, and Happy Birthday!

Notes
Scythe Ian Stewart You'd think the experienced players (well, one game last week) would have figured out a winning strategy, but no, it's newbie Ian who wins with Poland and six stars.
Tsuro Ian Stewart, Stephan Reebs Mutual destruction with three squares left. We haven't seen a lot of Ian lately, but tonight he makes it count.

Played at Stephan's place. KAMPS. In the words of Pascal, tonight we get exscythed about a new game.

Notes
Scythe Mike Gerdov The inaugural game, which Stephan sits out to better teach it. Rusviet Mike is the first one to get 6 stars, and the only one to end the game in the mid tier of popularity, and he wins with 42 points.
