I've been noticing a lot of people on BoargGameGeek.com asking
questions about what Icehouse games they should try first. Since
there wasn't any good existing list breaking Icehouse games down into
categories and listing the best examples of the various categories,
I've decided to create one on the IcehouseGames.org wiki. I haven't
played every Icehouse game out there, though, or even all of the ones
in PwP, so I'd appreciate if other people could add their input. Try
not to add every game that fits each category, though. I'm interested
mostly in the best and most popular, since those are likely to be the
ones that will hook a new player on Icehouse, and that they'll be
able to find people to play with.

Also, this is a general plug for the IcehouseGames.org wiki. There
was a good deal of activity on it when it started up, but it has
tailed off to some degree. I've tried to facilitate people who want
to get back in and help out, as well as adding new directions the
wiki can go in to broaden the interest. I've started adding some
strategy articles, which could be really helpful for new players. It
would be great if people could flesh out some of the strategy tips
that are there, or add strategy articles on games that don't have
them. I've also updated the to-do list so people who are interested
in helping out can find out what needs to be done. If you're browsing
the site, and notice something that needs to be done but don't have
the time to do it yourself, feel free to add it to the to-do list. If
you do have time to edit, but don't know what to do, check out the to-
do list for starting points.

Thanks, and have fun playing,
