Today I finished reading The Empty City, the book that as everyone here must already know, contains what was the seed for the original Icehouse game. I did enjoy it a lot and, because today I also managed to actually play the game a few times, I decided to write a short review of both the game and the book on BGG.
I think it's a shame that this game doesn't get more attention (if you check its BGG page, practically all the forum comments are about the game system, not the game) but I'm sure enjoying it the few times my girlfriend agrees to play with me (playing with a handicap has helped, so it may see more play in the future)
Cheers,
