Lighthouse Posted 9 September, 2015 Share Posted 9 September, 2015 Been a while since we had a game. I'll start with Tooting Broadway. Tudor Court rules apply but no Piccadilly diagonals. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 9 September, 2015 Share Posted 9 September, 2015 I used to be expert at the game, but now I'm getting a bit older I realise the inadequacy of my skills, so I'm just going to listen to the experts on the radio.. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Posted 10 September, 2015 Share Posted 10 September, 2015 Preston Road Hmm. It's early in the game so we should probably let that go. But moves that defy the laws of physics are generally frowned upon. Tooting Bec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsland Codger Posted 10 September, 2015 Share Posted 10 September, 2015 Crikey! Not one, but two Broadways and we've scarcely hit double figures in posts. Sooner or later someone is bound to contravene The Granville Conventions and then we'll be in real trouble. But in the meantime I'll play it safe and from Queensway I'll say - Marble Arch.

Special K Posted 10 September, 2015 Share Posted 10 September, 2015 I'm not sure if the reverse move to Lancaster Gate is in line with the Nash Convention of '53. Benefit of the doubt though, so I'll risk Holborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 10 September, 2015 Share Posted 10 September, 2015 It wasn't so much that, but Lighthouse said at the start we can't have any diagonals. Then zamboni stuck a spanner in the works with Canada Water, and I realised I couldn't use Goodge Street. It's not so much the rules as the spirit of the game.

I assumed Napalm had come in on the Victoria Line, so it's not a diagonal move it's a straight crossover between platforms, as I beleive they are on the same level.
