      <image:caption>The chocolate tasting game was really fun! I think everyone enjoyed it and it offered a way to move folks through the evening.  I did have one mistake though - while I had procured a prize for the winner (whoever got the most answers correct), I failed to anticipate a tie! There was indeed a tie, even though my guests did say the game was quite tough. We ended up just doing rock/paper/scissors for the winner, which added some fanfare, but I would have loved to have an additional chocolate or two to conduct one last tie-breaker game.  Given that my event was a Ladie’s Night/Galentine’s day celebration, the prize for our winner was a gift certificate to Lovestruck in Seattle - Seattle’s only romance bookstore! I think having a coordinated prize is fun and a little silly too.  What do you think - does this sound fun?</image:caption>
