Code Breakers' Crescent
help
We will play standard rules on a map where the names have been replaced with random english words. (eg. Goodge Street is now Hedge). To make things easy we will use the example map on page 23 of the 1957 MC annual.

I fear Nipple Creep will force me to go Moist like Boolbar.
No idea what happened there...
I guess that leaves an opening to Bush. [Tuj] I had no idea you were playing blind.
Vigourously Toweling myself down.
Match, burning both Bush and Toweling.
A pre-emptive play to Cress.
Gusset Login] I saw one once, and can roughly remember the outline of it... the more moves, the more powerful I am MUAHAHA
Oh dear, excuse me! Compass South, invoking gherkin embago.
Custom Pants (for ExDirectory)
Wank (forced).
That allows me to whizz down the blue diagonal to Scooby-Doo.
In that case, Homer Simpson again. I get the feeling we're not actually going anywhere.
Well, not if we carry on like that. Honestly, you're playing like an amateur. Hopefully Marge will set us up for a Butter Reversal.
[Flix] Butter-side down, I'm afraid. Dripping, but I warn you, it's softening rapidly.
Nipple Creep obviously.
Going round the back way to Clench
Avoiding any unpleasantness by going to Bolt and closing all stable doors.
I think Oats would be good here.
Bifurcating shamelessly to Oats / Chekhov, and wondering how many stations we've named so far, as I have no map...
[Tuj] The problem is that we've spilled over into street names and I'm fairly certain "Marge" is in Reading. Slept/Aaaaaaaargh!
Lard / Wet Wipes - could this be the start of the end?
Boatswain/puppy - let all just hope its not the end of the start!
Moist/Laser Display Board - I think I've lost the map, can anyone remember what Mornington Crescent was renamed to?
Sven / Samantha [all] I'm sorry, I haven't a clue.
Ronnie/Barker I think we need to reunify before we end this.
Ronnie/Corbett No need. This game can go on forever.
Reunifying at The Two Ronnies.
A rather self-referential move to Code Breakers' Crescent.
That leaves an opening to Porridge on a diagonal.
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for all*
I thought Porridge was Kentish Town, clearly I don't use the tube often enough. Which one was Kentish Town?
[all] According to my copy of the map, it was Dripping, easily confused with Porridge. However it was still a valid (and worthy) winning move. Congrats!

Exercise for the Reader
If you have a spare evening or two, why not try drawing the map we used to play this game? Fun for all the family! (I, the task-setter, would do this myself, but I can't be bothered.)

[Darren] is it OK if I just copy it out of the 1957 annual? [all] Good win.
