Rich Tea
Fig Roll The review website says it's a biscuit!
Taking us straight into ghost territory with Barmouth
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?
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.
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.
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.

Opening my tin with a Fruit Shortie declaring the wrong crumbs on the Hammersmith and McVitties Line.
Custard Cream invoking soggy mess following prolonged dunking.

Chocolate Digestive (Milk)/Chocolate Digestive (Plain), Aaargh!!!
Taking a plainer approach Cream Crackers/Ryvita, anyone got some cheese?
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?
That would be /biscuits Doh!
Butter Osbourne highly dunkable ghost biscuits invoked
Starting off at Lemon Puff, home at (the) Ritz - traditional for latecomers.

Nice one, Chalky.
Yeh, Nice loop, too.
Hob Nob (Caramel)... (I like this one!)
[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.
Bourbon
How about some plain Rich Tea?
Fruit Shortcake with extra dead flies to increase the crumb value along Hammersmith and McVitties.
Leaving Jammy Dodgers wide open.
Hoping that a Nice / Club will aid me in decreasing the presently high CR (Cracker Ratio).
How about afternoon tea at the Ritz?
I'm going to go out on a limb here...Oreos
Which opens the cross-channel option Palmiers - (Pâtisserie declared)

[nights] No. That's SO obviously chocolate. Gypsy Creams.
Maryland Cookies. Biscuits with place names wild.
Countering with less fattening Cornish Wafers .
Straight back atcha by counting the bobbles on a Lincoln
Slightly risky move to Maryland (Choc Chip & Coconut)
I'd better start off at Duchy Originals Organic Lemon Biscuit then.
Brandy snaps for those who like to stick the little pinky out while slurrping TEA!
Malted Milk again.
? is that the Malted milk with the little pictures on the biscuits?
I think so, it's a hazy memory.
Tuc again. Yes, widey, that's the one.
Tim Tams to consolidate. Picking up 2 port podumes.
I take it the plural isn't a winning move then?
Custard Creme, threatening to actually try and get somewhere.
Going the full Monte Carlo, increasing cream rating to seven.

Bath Oliver. The boy needs to be taught hygene.
Then send him straight to the Boudoir
