Mornington crescent anyone?

[luckykaa]

I'm bored. I feel like a game.

2004 Rules. Zones 1-3 only (except transverse moves of course).

Earls Court.

No. That was a mistake. I got a bit muddled playing 2 games at once.

Wait a minute... Is this a separate game or are you joining in at the above game?

If the former, I'll go for vauxhall. Otherwise it's Covent Garden.

Brixton

Different game since:
(1) I can't follow the above game.
(2) I haven't played Mornington Crescent before.

[luckykaa.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. Waterloo, then.

Mornington Crescent?

[luckykaa.livejournal.com]

Doh! Didn't see that:)

can i play too?

[tinkerbell1980.livejournal.com]

how do u play?

Re: can i play too?

The aim is to get to Mornington Crescent before the other players. You do this by naming Underground stations.

The actual rules are a little tricky to explain, but if you watch a couple of games, you should pick it up. Feel free to join in. We'll let you know if rules are legal.

It seems complicated, but once you get the idea, you'l besurprised at just how simple it actually is.

dont i need to know london inside out for that?

Re: can i play too?

[aperrott.livejournal.com]

No, but a map of the Underground might be useful. :)

Re: can i play too?

[luckykaa.livejournal.com]

It does help, but really a decent player can win by only using a few well known stations.
