A classic parlour game, based on the rules of MC. And, in fact, the winning move shares its initials with said station. This should be familiar to anyone present at ISIHAC2, and easy to pick up for anyone else.
And so it begins...
ZK -
Fig Roll The review website says it's a biscuit!
ImNotJohn - Taking us straight into ghost territory with
Barmouth
Bob the dog - I'll go for the classic
Digestive start. Can one of you HTML heroes put the map on the web and link it to here?
JLE - Although "Morning Coffee" on the actual map provided actually shares the initials of Mornington Crescent, I was under the impression that the
actual winning move on the day was "TimTam". In any case,
Garibaldi, declaring
squashed flies.
Dunx - Thank goodness - all the discussion about what the Biscuit Game actually was had led me to some quite disturbing speculations.
Anyway, opening with Club, Mint denied.
Brendan - That calls for a
Bourbon, invoking
brokenness for three terms.
[Dunx] I had visions of an edible version of the coin game ... how innocent of me.
Chalky - Opening my tin with a
Fruit Shortie declaring the wrong crumbs on the
Hammersmith and McVitties Line.
Inkspot -
Custard Cream invoking
soggy mess following prolonged dunking.
Btd]You have a map! I may have to sit a while in this easy chair, in the meantime there is always
a cup of tea to be had.
Rosie -
Ginger Nuts. Declaring
a strange and inappropriate friskiness.
Watty -
Parkin, home at
Simmers of Hatton's Butter biscuits
Bob the dog - Shifting to the Family Circle line with a
Jammie Dodger. Now get out of that!
ImNotJohn -
Chocolate Digestive (Plain) Bistrict Line only

ZK -
Duchy's Original's, with teabags on the Jubilee Line for the next 24 years.
rab - The map looks like
which you can click on to get a larger version.
ZK - But Jaffa Cakes aren't biscuits!
Uncle Korky - flerdle] Don't panic! Now that rab's kindly posted the map, the winning move should be clear.
Software - Diverting to particularly crisp and sickly
Café Noir.
flerdle - [UK] Oh good.
Digestive,
relief invoked
CdM - Well, I'm going to play
Milano, which is well off the map to the west.
Rosie -
HobNobs -

Dunx -
Coconut Ring, cumbly discomfort invoked. [CdM] Those are never as nice as I hope they will be.

Chalky - Nice one, ZK. You've just forced a
marshmallow centred bifurcation,
Tunnocks Tea-Cake/Wagon Wheel
Uncle Korky -
Chocolate Digestive (Milk)/Chocolate Digestive (Plain), Aaargh!!!
Software - Taking a plainer approach
Cream Crackers/Ryvita, anyone got some cheese?
Kim -
Water biscuite/Matso's. I feel that we're starting to test the boundaries of what constitutes a biscuit. Doesn't sugar have to be involved?
Kim - That would be
/biscuits Doh!
Inkspot -
Butter Osbourne highly dunkable ghost biscuits
invoked
LotUS - Starting off at

Ritz - traditional for latecomers.
flerdle - Oh-oh, that means I have to be a little more direct:

Rosie -
Nice one, Chalky.
Tuj - Yeh,

nights -
Hob Nob (Caramel)... (I like this one!)
CdM - [nights] You must have spent a lot of proofs-of-purchase to break that loop. Anyway, still off the map,
Macadamia and White Chocolate Chunk Cookie.
Software - How about some plain
Rich Tea?
Inkspot -
Fruit Shortcake with extra dead flies to increase the crumb value along Hammersmith and McVitties.

Ritz?
Kim - I'm going to go out on a limb here...
Oreos
