Anyone who knows the rules to this most brilliant of games is welcome to join in.
We'll be using the "Imperial Metric" rule set for the first game, so my first move will be Buckhurst Hill.
May the best man win!

Tetsu0: Think "Calvin Ball" but with a complex strategy bent and station names from the london underground.

Well, if all else fails use Wiki.

If all else fails, link to the Wiki page, so you don't seem so lazy to others. You might have thought to do this on the first post, you know.

I'm sad that you didn't understand the Calvin and Hobbes reference.
EDIT: I only really started the thread in the hopes that someone here was a "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" Fan

I rolled out a double and now I have to eat that hamburger of yours.. so I better take a shortcut to the nearest corner store and grab some paper bags.

In response to the paper bags I move to Bond Street where I rolled a 6 and is forced to redouble stacks W, J and K within 4 turns or otherwise make counter-clockwise moves in the north-south direction. Damn, if only I'd rolled a 7 or more...

Sucks for you, mate. I rolled and eight and a Guy Fawkes, that leaves me free to make the jump to Charing Cross. I just hope you don't roll a perpendicular 87 and pull a cyclops maneuver....

I put on my LU driver's cap and roll a 4, letting me move to Aldgate East on condition that I pay at least one busker. I nearly forgot that St. Paul's was closed >.<

Okay, I just drew the 4 of hearts. So I'm being ejaculated from St. John's Wood into Shepherd's Bush.

haha. I just noticed that i was only 2 away from Liverpool Street station. The train bonus counters any currently active health bar nutrients for all other players, and continues to counter them for the further 5 turns.
All that if i roll more than a 2.
And it's a 4.
pwnt bitches.

If I roll a 9 now, I can do a runner from here to Bank which would also net me the bonus of protection against anything you can throw at me, but only once.

4. Dammit. This only lets me get as far as Aldgate and a headache.
