Game Report for Yesterday
I played a lot of games yesterday:

• Twin Win: I played my newest Treehouse game twice during lunch with Robin (lost both times), twice more in the late afternoon with Laura (won both times), and one more time in the evening, with Laura and Shel (I won).
  
• Black ICE: Played 2 games of Black ICE with Laura, using the new drawstring bag she'd just made for her set as the Black Box. I won both games.
  
• Drip: I've been wanting to try this for awhile, having hear good stuff about this amazingly simple new game, and even though I lost both times, I liked it! I'm tickled to see designers using the stash tube as a piece of gaming equipment.
  
• Moon Shot: Speaking of using the tube as a game component, I finally started trying out the games in the current Ice Games Design Contest, including this simulation of the race to land on the moon, in which you attempt to flick pyramids into a stash tube lying on its side. Since the voting is still open and I wouldn't want my opinions to influence other people's, I'm gonna to withhold my comments on the gameplay for now.
  
• Pylon and Trip Away: These are two more of the eight new games in the current IGDC. Again, since the voting is still open, I'm not going to say anything yet about what I thought of these new game designs.
  
• Martian Hold'em: I doubled up on the very first hand with a Full House, and I was chip leader for a long time, but as the game wore on I made some dumb calls and by the time we cashed out at 2 am I was only up about a dollar.
