Tuj - Harrow-on-the-Hill, home withheld. Ruttsborough would have loved this ruleset, I always thought.

ImNotJohn - No podumes, Eh. In that case there's hardly any penalty from declaring home at Strand. Opening at Southwark of course.

Software - Home declared at Turnham Green and opening with that old favourite, Neasden.

Néa - I haven't played the Game for ages, not properly! Um, opening at Baker Street, Home at Turnpike Lane.

Tuj - Right then. Bromley-by-Bow, shunting Software. It's nice to be able to play ruthlessly again!

Inkspot - Well at least I know who to avoid for during my Cartwright's opening gambit, starting at Pimlico declaring Home at Brent Cross .

Software - Tuj's shunt leaves me with no other option than Epping.

Néa - Ah-HA! Kennington, a green token dropped on Oval.

rab - If it's old, and it's a street, it must be Old Street.

ImNotJohn - If it's new, it's a gate and it's not happy, it must be New Cross Gate

Tuj - If it's much sharper tactical play resulting in a silver podume gain, it must be Alperton :P

Néa - If it's almost round, and there's a green podume there, it's Oval.

ImNotJohn - BZZZZTTT C'mon Humph, get a grip on those two - the rules say NO podumes quite clearly.

Tuj - Oh pills, serves me right for not paying attention to the ruleset, very slack. I'll have to surrender my Zone 1 pass and restart from South Acton.

Kim - Seven Sisters, home at Harrow & Wealdstone. This promises to be a fairly long game.....

Néa - Oh dear oh dear oh dear. It was a token, actually, as seen in previous post. Very careless of me. My LV is now negative which propels me backwards... so Kennington again.

Wymo - Pinner the hard way. I'm in a rakish mood, so to heck with a home station.

Valentin - Wood Green, roving home somewhere in Quadrant 5

Software - Looking at the state of play and the confiscated podumes, I'll play cautiously with Hatton Cross.

Néa - Baker Street. Just you all wait. Especially you, INJ.

Tuj - [Néa] Not if I get there first! Arnos Grove!

rab - Stumped. Could try Embankment I suppose.

Software - Easy. Elephant and Castle making an opening for a possible strile, methinks.

Néa - Hm. Leytonstone, I think. *seethe*

Tuj - [Néa] Leytonstone, yes? So you won;t mind if I go to Leyton and box you then?

Néa - [Tuj] By all means, go ahead.

Tuj - Alright then. Leyton, boxing Néa.

Wymo - ...disasterously mistakes a straddle for a strile and ends up tripping over the escalator at Canada Water...

Tuj - Oh, I see... Mornington Crescent, Mortensen's Parallax being wide open and all.

Audience - *shouts, screams generally goes wild for Tuj*
