The speculation is over — I finally played Faceball.  Allspaw and I traded wins yesterday afternoon after work and I am all over the Faceball bandwagon now.  Something about getting continually hit in the face just gets you in the right frame of mind to throw things back at the other guy.  The game really motivates itself and yet has just enough rules to be civilized.  And to top it off, it appeals to my childhood obsession with throwing things indoors.
