Notes
Perudo Alain Haché Alain's 1-1-2-2 is a bit of overkill to finish off Mike's last dice.
Codenames Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs Kevin points out that Codenames just won Spiel des Jahres for this year, so we have to play it again. Feel any different?
Codenames Alain Haché, Ian Stewart, Pascal Werlberger Alain once again gives a 4-word clue, but his partners chicken out on him after correctly guessing three.
Codenames Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Stephan Reebs Thanks to hospitals (disease, lab) and churches (soul, tower) in Florida (key, orange, scuba diver), and a freebee from the other team (thumb).
Tsuro Kevin Caron, Stephan Reebs Survival on the very last square. Ian gets eliminated on the very first round!

Notes
Risk Pascal Werlberger Pascal pleads Mike to play the most hated dice game of all times. Pascal wins. No one is having good time. No surprise.
Perudo Mike Gerdov With Stephan absence, Mike tries to reclaim his Perudo glory. 4 dice left
Carcassonne Pascal Werlberger Another classical game played. Mike is not making any mistakes and plays well. But sometimes you can lose even without making any mistakes. Pascal wins with 78(i think) points sharing nice fields with Ian.
Love Letter Mike Gerdov Pascal's go-to game is played to close the evening. Back and forth game with everyone winning some rounds. Surprising everyone including himself Mikes wins decider round and match. Home-field advantage ain't nuthing ta f$%k wit!

Played at Kevin's place. PIMK. Another game night at Kevin's, but the "home advantage" theory was proven to be unfounded.

Love Letter Ian Stewart Ian proves his worthiness to the Princess for his third win of the night.

Notes
Machi Koro Ian Stewart Ian wins with the classical "Ranch - Cheese Factory" strategy (including rolling some nice sevens) and the McCafe opening.
Machi Koro Mike Gerdov Mike applies Ian's winning strategy and adds some high likely seven rolls for the win!
Perudo Ian Stewart Ian in the showdown with 5 to 1 dices has to suffer one loss with 3 aces on his side, but finally finishes Kevin with 4 dice left.
Settlers of Catan Kevin Caron Kevin wins with the non-ideal setup of 4 players with Mike suffering badly from a Vatikan-size territory with no room for expansion. Some pity-points from the pope for Mike for the worst Settlers disaster ever.
5

Played at Kevin's place. KIMP To celebrate the successful heart operation performed on glorious leader Stephan, HFG members (minus Alain) gathered at Kevin's to acccumulate as many points as possible before the inevitable return of said glorious leader. Kevin's cache of fancy beer is emptied, and a record(?) of 6 games are played.

Notes
Dungeon of Mandom Kevin Caron With Pascal's late arrival, Kevin takes an easy win over Mikhail and Ian in only two rounds.
Dungeon of Mandom Kevin Caron Pascal arrives and a second game of Mandom is started. Mikhail is eliminated early, and Kevin manages to steal the victory from Ian.
Seven Wonders Kevin Caron Kevin triumphs again with a win of 54 points. It's a close battles between the other three players, and Mikhail goes all green.
Perudo Ian Stewart Ian defeats Kevin's with 2 dice left.
Love Letter Ian Stewart Ian reaches 4 points with the biggest Princess of them all. It is later noticed that Stephan's copy of Love Letter is missing quite a few game bits.
Category 5 Kevin Caron Kevin pulls a fourth win in the same night with a score of 57, a mere 2 points lower than Pascal. Ian decides to go for century on the last round after busting well above the 74 point game ender. He succeeds with a record 108 points. Congrats.
