ANOTHER GAME - Mornington Crescent
Very simple game - if you don't understand, go to google and search for "Mornington Crescent".
Rules for this version: We are using a modern London tube map (ie including the jubilee line!) Players must start no further in than, southwards, above the Thames, North, below the line from North Woolwich to Richmond. Players must not start on the Northern Line I will start: Caledonian Road |
Okay, how about...
Seven Sisters [Note: If you're wondering how to play, or what the heck we're talking about, look here: Mornington Crescent And for a map of the London Underground: London Underground Hope that helps] |
Any chance of someone here explaining it in a non-comfusing way? Or perhaps I am just to thick to understand. Sounds fun though, I want to play! :)
|
You do realize that a large majority of the forumgoers here don't know the London Underground by heart, do you?

I might be wrong, but it seems to me as if the point of the game is to test the player's knowledge of the subway system, in which case making use of a map would completely defeat the purpose?
I don't know...as a whole the game doesn't make a ton of sense for me, so I might be mistaken. *shrug* |

Maybe we should make use of something more accessible, like Voyager episodes? We can have creative rules too, like "List all the episodes in Season 3 in order, except those in which Janeway is shown drinking more than one cup of coffee"...
I think I get this game now, though, it's a mental exercise like 7-Up. (That's the game where you take turns sounding off numbers in order, except you have to say "Up!" everytime you come to a number that has a 7 in it, or is a multiple of 7...) |

OFF TOPIC!!!!! Can we stick to playing Mornington Crescent in this thread? You can find rules by typing "rules for Mornington Crescent" into google.
You can't go to seven sisters! We're playing Marquess of Pigswade rules! You can't approach seven sisters on the diagonal from the Picadilly or Waterloo /City lines! Oh, and by the way, its not a "subway" it's the TUBE! T-U-B-E!!! |
Speaking of Subways, did you ever have a subway sandwich?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...sandwich :mrgreen: :wink: |
OFF TOPIC AGAIN!!!!!
|
Speaking of Topics, does anyone know where you can but them? They are an English chocolate bar I haven't seen for yeeeeeeeears... :wink:
OK! Ok, I'll stop now :wink: :mrgreen: I couldn't resist :wink: But seriously Valium, off topics happen :wink: |
Sorry. Been around one v. serious forum for a while now....

Ah, clever. However, I think I'm going to have to double cross-trip along the second major line, taking me to Kenton and unfortunately blocking your plan.
|
A smart move, but, alas, that was not my plan after all!
I move to ... Earl's Court! |
I block BOTH your moves, with Marylebone change for Clapham Common!
