However, it does lead to the interesting and rather surreal move of Turnham Green

Ah, but I can block you if I go to Earl's Court in one move. So you don't get any points for that.
Earl's Court.

However, with Arbuthnot still invoked, it can only mean a lateral transition to...... Denmark Hill.

Tottenham Court Road, as Timmy is missing his move.

I'll counter that with a move to Finchley Central

... I would have liked to say Leicester Square, but if I stay on the Piccadilly line I only get half points. So it'll have to be Charing Cross instead. Sorry, Steve!

but would someone please take the trouble to explain the intricacies of this game. Maybe then others could join in. Unless, of course, this is private stuff: in which case you should take it off board.

You've never heard of the BBC quiz "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue"? (Hint -- this whole thread is about it...) It is a game played on that programme.
As for the rules, the version I have is called "Mornington Crescent: A Simplified Strategy Guide" (Marchmont Press, 1982), which I found in a second hand bookshop in Castle Cary a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure it's out of print, though you may be able to find a version in a specialist or second hand book catalogue.
Failing that, there's always Google.

Aha, I think I see where this is heading..... As it's not yet dark, I'll go South of the River......Elephant & Castle!

An intriguing move, Steve -- but I'm going to sit at Euston for a while to prevent you from using the Northern Line.

Damn! I thought I saw Mornington Crescent in three. I'll have to make use of the Garden-Hardy sacrificial manoeuvre to get to....Farringdon.

Damn it, I'd forgotten you could do that.
Hmm.
Dollis Hill.

It happens. We had an island platform delay there. I've set up a game in a new thread.
