Yeah, ok. Faves: 1. Icehouse 2. Ice Towers (has a -lot- more strategy than people credit it with) 3. Zendo/Speed Zendo (Zendo for more competitive, Speed for more relaxed). *4. Martian Chess (2-player; 4 is enjoyable, but too arbitrary) *5. Homeworlds (like it. But too brain-burning/stressful for me to want to be playing all the time) *6. Volcano (2-player only. Multi its a random-fest, but 2 is great) *7. Zarcana? Gnostica? no strong favorite jumps to mind, so I'm going to say Cathouse. Cats love this game. Least Favorite: 1. Treehouse. Like it as a packaging/marketting phoenomena, but isn't even really worthwhile as filler. 2. Blam -- Apparently interesting, but in practice (IMEX), not so much. 3. Spicklehead.
