Mornington Crescent is the best game ever.
Stephen Fry is an expert at it, so I guess that does make it totally gay, but also totally awesome.

Someone explain it to me using small words.

Screw that.
As far as I can tell, there's one spot open. There's no time to explain the rules it's now or never Roto
Always nice to find another fan of the antidote to panel gamesSign me up please
As a long-time fan of the great BBC panel games, this is just an unmissable contest.
But yes, one space left, people!
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I have no idea what this is. Sign me up anyway.
Excellent. We have our sixteen players!
Anyone who wants to get a head start might want to check out the rather excellent Mornington Crescent: Rules and Origins by N.F. Stovold, but I'm told it might be out of print. I'll have a think about the rules and variations we'll be using today and hopefully we can get a game started tonight or tomorrow!

I take it you'll be chairing, Heath? Or should that be Humph?
What would you say to providing a link to a map of the underground, for those of us who want to play competitively but aren't sufficiently familiar with London?
That's the first sensible thing anyone's said in this thread so far, D.
I believe this will be our official playing board.
See if you can find Mornington Crescent before we begin!
I found it!
This space intentionally left blank.
I'll be chairing but I'll also be taking part because I wouldn't want to miss out on the fun. I'll be chairing as impartially as I can, naturally, or - in the words of Humph - until my tranquillizers wear off.

Mornington Crescent was the first station I saw.
PS: The scar on Dumbledore's knee must have been magically inflicted to cause that.
I go away for five days and something happens? Typical. :rolleyes2
Also, I thought I ought to point out that although the East London Line is closed for renovation until 2010, Barrington's Corollary creates a loophole which permits travel on this line during the Expository Phase of play, providing of course that your move doesn't cross any locked junctions. Might a house rule be introduced to fix this?

"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
