Mornington Crescent?

Post by DavidL »

Does anyone have any idea what this is all about?
I've searched the net and found the references to I'm Sorry I haven't a clue but it still makes no sense at all. It seems to be a game that has no rules apart from those you make up yourself which you don't divulge to anyone else! And yet everyone seems to be able to play the same game.
I feel I am missing out!

No, I think you've about covered it. I have no idea either, obviously far too young.

Between good players, it’s less of a game and more of a performance.

Assuming you’re playing the Third Revised Wolseley Edition, naturally. Prior to that, beginners could too easily scupper a carefully laid plan by doubling back on diagonals. I won’t even speak of the chaos that is Richmond’s Fifth Amendment; that should never have been added to the Fourth Edition rules.

Jen,
Tell him - he's talking rubbish. But he has got 2 944s and is trying to get rid of one, just like me!
Unless he would care to explain himself....

As someone who has listened a lot over the years it seems a perfectly rational explanation to me!

Of course playing Blackhorse Road as a wild card has often caught me out whilst playing.
