As a pyramid player, I'm pretty enthusiastic about it all.  =)  And I
count myself lucky to know how to play IceDice.  It's a very fFun game
I've gotten some eurogamers to enjoy, so I'm excited to see it take
some spotlight in the coming months.

Hmmm, I wonder if the Card Game players could use a cool name, too.
You can certainly be both a Captain and Card-a-holic (or whatever
concept sticks), but maybe some sort of recognition of your area of
expertise, maybe?  But maybe this is just over thinking it.  Aquarius
players and Chrononauts players may not fFeel the same kind of
emotional connection to their system of choice as pyramid players do.
