Mornington Crescent

Oh for shame. A new board, a new game and you have to start like that. I'll refer you to Millican's Periodical from 1953 (surprisingly advanced for its time) on the correct way to start in such situations.

However, you have at least given the option to open the game up for all to enjoy:

Clapham Junction

 

Well, that move certainly throws my options open, but after careful consideration I don't think I'll be as nice. Enjoy your dead end.

Morden

 

Ah, but there's an easy way out of that if you know the counter. Saw it played in 1990, but its in the 1952 varient.

London Bridge

 

Excellent move there, porridge.

I'll go one step on with the Monopoly addendum, putting us nicely on

Fenchurch Street

 

Moorgate

No, I have no idea what I'm doing. Is that valid?

 

I'll do that English thing and complain about lawns.

Old Street

 

Oh how appropriate.

Overground rules all ready into play I see. Well to prevent a bit of a bottleneck later on and keeping in theme, which also gains me a yellow token:

Canary Wharf

 

Can I play Waterloo?

Waterloo

Is that a move? Please can someone tell me the rules?

 

There is a link to the rules in the first post.

Thank you for Waterloo. By the Jubilee amendment, sub-clause 3.4 that opens a direct link cross London. So there's only one real move any player of sense would make.

Southwark

And I claim my yellow token.

 

We need a yellow token now?

I'm gonna try Oval

Still no clue

 

No, no, no, that's just not cricket. There's only one move after the Waterloo and Southwark combination for any experienced player. So, since I am a contrary soul, (and porridge already played it) I'm not using it. Play your way out of this one:

Hatton Cross

 

Amateur. England was playing Test Cricket today, so by the related Sports and Gamer addendum (1973, Collins), Oval just sets up a one man in- one man out maneuver, so we can go straight to

St John's Wood

just don't let's head to Dollis Hill

 

Why, would Dollis Hill be a problem for you? *bats eyelashes* Well since you don't like Hatton Cross, I;d better avoid the area completely...

Heathrow Terminal 5

 

Since you've stumped 'em all, I'll throw my tuppence worth in. Useless lot always forget the bus routes can be used on the third Wednesday on the month under the Scottish amendment of 1921. Learn the rules!

Acton Town

 

I'm quite well aware of that, and yes, you've prevented my Shephard's bush gambit. Very clever but since its now Thursday after hours and the Night Bus routes are available, which you appear to have forgotten, I'm going to claim my yellow token and play the classic counter:

Queensway

 

And from literary to film, that's easy enough to follow...

...the place is Street: Bond Street

 

Well, well, it appears that certain people are trying the English Mustard Gambit (I remember the game that coined it from the St. Ives invitational 1968. Poor Col. Mustard forever tarred by the Cluedo ruling).

So, to prevent taking any penalties, I will be playing that Yellow Token moving us to:

Kensington High Street

and declaring play to go Widdershins
