I got in a couple rounds of Ingenious, playing against Richard, who won both rounds - but the second not by as much as the first round. (I like this game enough that I've acquired my own set, hoping to get in some practice rounds and improve my chances; since, while it's fun to play, I have yet to win at i:.)

We also played a couple new games, Aton and Mason, both of which were a lot of fun. Aton is a two player game that has at least four different potential winning conditions. I lost the first round badly, but won the second, after I figured out a more flexible strategy.

Mason is a building game for three or four players, with walls and towers, cities, houses and palaces; there are cards that give the players a wide variety of ways to score points. Richard won this one, too, playing against myself and Rich. It's fun to play and I think I could do better with another chance at it.
