Your kids would get a kick out of <a href="http://www.wunderland.com/LooneyLabs/FamilyFluxx/" rel="nofollow">Fluxx</a> and Chrononauts which are some of the most origional card games out there. All the Looney Lab games require 3 or more players and are best played with 5-6.

So <i>you're</i> the perpetrator of Ice Towers. I noticed that game being played this year and last. It looked interesting, so I picked up some sets of IceHouse pieces and have been playing games with my kids (7 & 9; TreeHouse is good for them). It's like open-source gaming: the hardware must be bought, but the games are freely shared and you're free to invent & share your own. Aha! So you’re the perpetrator of Ice Towers.
