  • [Hailstorm] - A quick, easy, luck-based game intended to feel vaguely like craps or roulette, played with Icehouse pieces.

  • [Huzzah!] - It's that time again. Renfair season. Time to put on your tights and trot out your tired old act at the Merrie King James Faire. If you don't please the crowds, and Richard the faire director, the faire is going to fire you. Pleasing both Richard and the public is going to be pretty tough. So say goodbye to your dignity and scream a boisterous 'Huzzah!'
