It's that Game again

trumpetmike · 11-05-2005, 05:13 PM

Well folks, it had to happen sooner or later - the game of Mornington Crescent has arrived on TrumpetMaster.

If it is ok with the other participants (and as we will have potential M/C newbies both observing and participating) I would suggest a simple start. Considering how it is currently November 5th (with all the historical connotations that date has over here) I would suggest we go for the Classic Windsor rules.
For those who may have misplaced their Stovaldt's, let me refresh your memory

Windsor Rules
Only the senior player in a straight line may inherit possession, unless of course the Hapsburg Convention has been invoked, in which case, Grimaldi’s Protocol takes precedence.

With that understood by all, I feel it is down to me to start our journey. I will do so now:

Tooting Bec

I'm going to have to dig out my map of the Underground now....I might just be able to attempt to play!

Ok...I'm done..on with the game!

I'll take advantage of your Hapsburg's Convention (I believe I am older than you) and slip on over to Tooting. (You expected something easy?)

Just for Lara, here's a link to a great map of The Tube. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/pdfdocs/lon_con.pdf

Seniority doesn't always come with age, but we will let that one pass - welcome to the game.

Or this New Yorker...I tried the Applet at the bottom of that page...I don't get the strategy or how the game works or the London subway system.

As I was only introduced to the game this summer (and even that brief initiation turned my goatee pink

)...

I'll start conservatively....

Ealing Broadway.

(I'd appreciate feedback on this move from you veterans.)
