Don't worry Grimmie, I don't understand how it works either. It's a London-folk thing.

I'm a fan of the 1993 Uzbek glasnost rule set myself. I may yet enter this once I've brushed up on the necessary updates. Are we running with scissors open or closed?

Don't be silly, it's a truly international gamestraviganza!

Scissors are closed until you find an open stationary shop.

Make your move Sir!

You must never have heard "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue" on the wireless. One of the greatest comedy shows ever.

Who wouldn't have been moved to watch the tears of frustration well up in Lionel's eyes at being unable to use his mouth to finish off Two Gentlemen of Verona?

I've heard of it but don't you have to be 40 or over to listen to Radio 4?

I've heard a few episodes, but that reference was perhaps a bit too obscure for a non-regular listener. :p

Surely everyone knew the rules?

The Shutting Downs

So, those who DO know the rules, please make your play.

Those who do not know the rules, watch and learn.

Chancery Lane is the opener.

A quick cross platform reversi to Morningside Park

The Shutting Downs

I will allow that once, but International rules may stifle new players. London Underground current only please

A further infraction will place you in Nid, only cancelled with the payment of 3 spoons.

Total newbie here, but after a bit of forum scouring I think I can make a multi-track drift to Charing Cross?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

What about a Stockwell block with a jump over to the N5? Is that legal in this rule set?

Ah indeed, I must have glued those pages together in my '08 set, not entirely sure why I would unless it was a pique of rage at the inclusion of the in my mind unnecessary pigeon taped to eyes handicap, surely that only applies on weekend play...

To keep it domestic - a quick LAX crabwise to London City Airport should see me make a significant leap, back in blighty gents, the game is afoot!
