Who here plays it?  I thought it might be fun to get a game going. :)

No one? :( I thought at least the Brits would know about it.

I read the thread title as 'Morning Croissant', so no.

I know how to play... but I only know the rules based on the 1974 World Tournament, unfortunately, so I won't be of any use. :p

Care to elaborate?

It's a rather complex game played among a group of friends or on a forum.  Essentially each person names a station on the London Underground (the subway system in London) and the object is to get to Mornington Crescent.

I don't know how widely known it is; I just figured out how to play only recently.  It takes a while to learn.

It would take far too long to explain the rules, but you should get the hang of it as the game goes on...

Can someone else start?  As a new player it's in my advantage not to go first.

oh, what the heck. Remember, no sponning and cross-lateral moves until the third round!

I'll have to go with

Picadilly Circus

Leicester Square

I haven't gotten to sponning yet, so perhaps we should stick with the original rules and leave it out entirely? :)

Unless, of course, there are other more skilled players here, in which case I'd be happy to simply sit back and watch instead. ;)

I'm sorry I haven't a clue what you're on about.
