Ice Cream Season

...which is a meaningless term, since every day is a good day for ice cream. Still, for some reason most ice cream stands in New England aren't open during the frozen depths of winter, and we have to wait all the way until faux-spring for them to open. Kimball's finally opened for the season back on April 2nd, and of course I had to be there on opening day to stand shivering in line and then sit shivering in the car with a glove on the hand holding my ice cream. But hey, the presence of a leftover snowbank here and there is no reason not to get ice cream.

Opening day at their other nearby location a week later was much worse - relatively toasty weather, but we inadvertantly went at a time of day that meant the place was swamped with school children. 45 minutes in line. = P

Looking forward to Meola's opening. Based on previous years I'm not sure that will even be this month, though.

Shadows Over Camelot, etc.

Having played two more games, both of them featuring a traitor, I've come to the conclusion that we had it REALLY easy in that one game with no traitor. Damn, it's harder with one of the players secretly (then openly) working against everyone else. Glad I finally got to be someone other than King Arthur in the third game. That was getting kind of repetitive.

We also played a 5-player game of Utopia, and I was pleased to see that it scales up to 5 people quite well. It does get a little crowded on the islands, but that makes building a wonder slightly more worthwhile, since eventually people will run out of places to build that aren't near a wonder. I've also played it once with 2 players, and that seeemed to play fairly smoothly as well.
