QUOTE(helly burnet @ Jul 27 2006, 12:06 AM)  Ealing Broadway Errrmm...You can't just start like that! We need to establish which rules we are playing by first. Rules of Mornington Crescent In an bid to keep the game moving can I suggest: Lord Grosvenor’s Original Metropolitan Rules This version was devised during his influential period as Minister of Tourism and the emphasis is very much on scenic routes. National monuments score double, and players must keep to zones 1 and 2 only. In which case my reply to your Ealing Broadway is St Paul's (Central Line, scoring double) (I believe this puts the next player in spoon under the 1995 Helskini Convention rules) |

If we're going to use Lord Grosvenor's rules, may I suggest the Clarence House variant, which makes main line stations wild?
If so, Paddington. If not.....er.....Paddington. |

Chesham.
Oh, hang on, if we're sticking just to zones 1 and 2, I can't have Chesham. In which case, Covent Garden. |

In which case I'm discarding a green token into the pot to enable me to move to...
Barbican (circle line , not metropolitan though) |

This reinstates rule 7 blocking the direct approach, so I'll retreat to Enbankment. |

I think I'll go to Kings Cross to avoid your pincer movement. QUOTE(katyjay @ Jul 27 2006, 10:43 AM) And leaving the way clear for me: Mornington Crescent Damn. Didn't spot that one. Very clever. So that's 1 round to you. Is Samantha keeping score? |
