   We are talking about starting a game night here at Full Tilt because we love games and can not get away to play games with our friends. So is there any night that would work better for people than other nights?

   Mondays and Wednesday's aren't good for me. But the rest of the week is open.

   Consider being a sponsor of WSB -- as I have no idea where you are located. If I am missing your link in the sponsor's column, provide the pointer... I love great ice cream and miss the Pennsylvania Turkey Hill stuff or Cinci's Graeter's.

   Full Tilt is actually one of the people that runs White Center Now, pretty good sponsorship already. New people to the blog may not know that of course.

   Here is a link to Yelp on Full Tilt, right in the Heart of old White Center. Try the Horchata ice cream...mmm.

   Full Tilt is about to go through some changes, and then we are going to sponsor WSB. The changes are good, I swear.

   I have to give a major "woop woop" for Full Tilt. Was in there last Friday - what a great time. And great ice cream. I tried the Horchata, the Mexican Chocolate and the Mango Chili. All yums.

   Hey Full Tilt - can you pretty please do a Black Licorice Ice Cream? It's the BF's fave, and we can't find it anywhere...and we'd rather find it at your place.

   What games? Board games?

   Jen, the reason I don't make it often is that I have to taste it. As Chris Rock said, "Proof that Racism exists is that they made the worst tasting candy black."

   Oh yeah. Board games. Not the machines that I make you pay a quarter for.

    Justin, we're totally down!! We love game nights. And we love your fabulous licorice-hating ice cream shop! (sorry Jen!) :) Wednesdays are bad for us, but most other nights are okay.

    BTW, you could make an ouzo ice cream for all the licorice lovers and then at least you'd be loaded by the time you finished all the tasting. :)

    I had an ouzo slushie in Greece...it was gooooooood. (And I don't like licorice...but I love a good ouzo.)

    Full Tilt can you do something with white chocolate and cherries? I had something like it at Baskin and Robbins the other day with Hot Fudge and can just imagine how good it would be done with fresh ingredients.

    Hmm. Tempting. We have some Settlers/Puerto Rico/etc. players here. Sadly, one of them would find an ice-cream shop life-threatening. But a couple of us could. Is it somewhat quiet?

    Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays better.

    Apples to Apples is one of the best games ever! You can even play it while drinking...in fact it is better while drinking.

    I believe Husky has licorice ice cream.

    I love Apples to Apples. I'm also cwazy about scrabble. I could put a bid in for Rummikube too. We have a set of that at work for lunch time playing.

    Are kids welcome?

    We're a big Monopoly family.

    Has anyone ever played for real money? My kids love it (especially when mom & dad are the bank)
    $500 = $5.00
    $100 = $1.00
    $50 = .50
    $20 = .25 (have to fudge on this one, but 4 quarters still equal a dollar)
    $10 = .10
    $5 = .05
    $1 = .01

    The hard part is collecting the right amount of change so that everyone starts with exactly the right amount of currency. We've only played this way once, and it was fun.

    We'll be there, but largely because we planned previously to bring Screemie down for Ice Cream for his birthday.

    Apples to Apples Rocks. Best combo ever?

    Thanks for the comment about the WCNow sponsorship.... but I didnt know what White Center Now is until i scanned the blog column (duddh its a blog for those uninformed like me). While I go to Westwood Village frequently, I dont visit White Center very often, as I dont know of the businesses there..... I had no idea that there was a creamery nearby.... you will soon find me a regular visitor, as I have already broken my New Year's resolution more than once.

    So then after game night we can all head over to Maharaja (?sp) for singles night. :)

    I have been out of the singles life for a long time. I thought a singles outing and a game night were one in the same!
    Anywho, I cannot do a Thursday night cuz of other commitments; but I will enjoy hearing how this Full Tilt event goes.

    knitta...

    bring the knitting and the knitters:)

    Lots of games leave your hands free and i have seen what a knitter can do with her mind while somehow managing to stay on pattern... I suspect knitting is some Machiavellian strategy for boosting those little gray cells:)

    We will try to be there....

    is this for grownups mostly, or are kids welcome (it's OK if grownups only, I'm just wondering)

    OK, so quite a few people showed up for game night. We just ended up chatting though. Maybe this should be a little more organized? So, lets pick a game for next week. Scrabble has been thrown around as a suggestion quite a bit. Maybe an easy Euro board game? Any suggestions?

    I would have come but I am still having problems with my bursitis. So hopefully we can do it again soon and maybe we can get TR to post something on the main page. I still want to do Backgammon that is my game! Hope to see you soon.

    Mrs Full Tilt would like to know where the knitters were so she could join them:)
