Perudo Ian Stewart Two dice left against Pascal.
Codenames Alain Haché, Kevin Caron, Stephan Reebs 2-1. Very close contest down to the wire. The triplet pin-key-change (“password” as a clue) helped in the decisive game.

Played at Stephan's place. KIMS. Mike brings his finished underwater camera, complete with a magic wand (a magnet on a stick to trigger the magnetic switches). If we had a bottle of champagne we would have christened it. Lively discussion touches on a a number of subjects, with the highlight sentence being “sandwich me”.

Played at Stephan's place. IMSKA. Spain wins the Euro 2024, the Sail GP 23-24, and the Men’s final at Wimbledon, so we play a Spanish-themed game, on a hot and muggy day like the current weather in Spain probably.
