[Icehouse] Another addict enters the house

[Avri Klemer]

Welcome, Greg.

You've arrived just in time for the Winter 2008 Icehouse Game Design 
Contest:

http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Icehouse_Game_Design_Competition

You should be able to test drive *all* the games entered, since the design 
restriction this time out is 2HOUSE!

Entries will be announced (here and elsewhere) around December 22, followed 
by a month or so of judging, with winners announced in early February.

It's a good time to be an Icehouse fan!

Welcome to the insanity - now I'm going for pizza . . .

> One treehouse stash later, and it's a hit. I go home from the con, and my

> Fast forward to the recent week. I now own three Treehouse stashes, the
