The Biscuit Game
help
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.
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.
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.
Ginger Nuts. Declaring a strange and inappropriate friskiness.
Parkin, home at Simmers of Hatton's Butter biscuits
Shifting to the Family Circle line with a Jammie Dodger. Now get out of that!
Chocolate Digestive (Plain) Bistrict Line only
Butter Crunch Neopolitan terminus
TimTam oblig
Um, I was taking notice of the instructions for the game, and not what you were saying, JLE... hope i haven't b*gg*r*d things up.
Duchy's Original's, with teabags on the Jubilee Line for the next 24 years.
The map looks like

which you can click on to get a larger version.
Declaring nuts!
But Jaffa Cakes aren't biscuits!
flerdle] Don't panic! Now that rab's kindly posted the map, the winning move should be clear.
Diverting to particularly crisp and sickly Café Noir.
Leaving me with no option but Boaster.
Marie
[UK] Oh good. Digestive, relief invoked
Well, I'm going to play Milano, which is well off the map to the west.
HobNobs - and subsequently name-drops.
Raising the stakes with Viscount.
Gypsy Creams Radical, I know.
Coconut Ring, cumbly discomfort invoked. [CdM] Those are never as nice as I hope they will be.
Penguin, home somewhere between Viscount and Malted Milk.
Nice Atkins revoked
Nice one, ZK. You've just forced a marshmallow centred bifurcation, Tunnocks Tea-Cake/Wagon Wheel
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.
Oh-oh, that means I have to be a little more direct: Club
Oh! In that case, Sports, featuring stick men.
Tuc. It was an unusual decision to name their product after the Trades Union Congress.
Veering west again with Animal Crackers
This may be an opportunity to play my trump. Gingerbread Man. Consider yourselves in munch. Ha!
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)

Gingernut [nights] Bravo!
Taking the short-cut, Iced Gem.
Garibaldi - Peak Frean's Trotsky Assortment invoked
Abernethy lithp enforced
Perhaps we could liven the party up with some Sprits.

Biscotti (forced)
A long-overdue appearance from the Macaroons

[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.
Millefeuille, re-eclairing patisserie.
Bath Oliver. The boy needs to be taught hygene.
Then send him straight to the Boudoir
Garibaldi. A Welshman wearing a Syrup.
Ryvita - crumbling.
Iced Gems - but just the pink ones.
Iced Vo-vos, coconut bonus claimed.
Lemon Puffs
Snowballs, marshmallow bonus claimed.

No, I'll pass on the Jaffa Cake thanks. Boolbar] That good enough?
Boasters *Happy to play along for the moment*

Wagon Wheel
A non-specific *Peek Frean*
Righto, down to business. Time for the Lemon Crisp.

Crumbs! That's what comes of hobnobbing with the viscount. Tuc.
A risky Cookie Dough Ice Cream, just daring someone to challenge.
BBBZZzzztttttt-Ting! [CdM] Always happy to oblige. I challenge on the basis of Unbaked Move. Let's try Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch as a cooked biscuit ice cream product. BTW, Ben & Jerry's factory is about 5 miles away from my sister's house...
Chocolate Bath Oliver
Sports biscuits, remember those?
[Deek] Nope. Jammie Dodger - hoping to move in with penelope's sister. Better yet, into the factory :)
[Deek] Yes, I do. [AP] First, you have to join the Club (Orange)
Oh oh, orange biscuits are always left till last, pen. Pity. That lets me saunter down to have my Morning Coffee.

*dunks*
Crumbs!
Blimey! Well done flerdly-werdly. I bow and scrape in awe :-)
Hoozah for flerdle!
cool game got bored waiting for it to load though
Well, after one year, five months, two days, and an hour and thirty-two minutes of nothing happening, I think anyone would get bored. I applaud your patience though.
Must be a bit like watching cricket.
