Mornington Crescent

[gothwalk]

You know, it just occured to me that LJ is the perfect forum for games of Mornington Crescent. This was mainly caused by olethros starting one on fibbers, mind. So while I'm playing in that one, anyone who's interested can join in here.


olethros is using the rather liberal West London ruleset, so I'm actually going - in honour on Connie Willis, who writes books about time travel - to use the Blitz 1943 rules. This tends to cut down on the slides, but allows a good deal more emergnecy transport, and has an Ambience Rating of twelve and two-thirds.

So, with all of that in mind, we'll start at Willesden Junction. Red token for me...

I think you're thinking of Monopoly, John. Try blue instead, I think it's still free...

Very well... I take blue.

I have no idea what to do, so I'll just watch in fascination and wonder if this is the same as the salt and pepper game (aka elven chess to some).

There are plenty of MC resources on the net - just do a google for "Mornington Crescent" and you should find lots. There's technically a board, but it's identical to the tube map, so with a quick look at this one, you should be well sorted.
