Mornington Crescent.

Right then, plebs, I feel that we need some culture in here, Cre'at cardboard cutout bodies not withstanding. (heh, and you lot won't believe whats hapening to do with that....made my chins drop, that did)

So, to this end, I have decided to start the first of hopefully many rounds of that respected, honourable, witty and challenging game, Mornington Crescent.

Now, you all know the rules, I mean, who doesn't? However, for any newbies to this most fine of sports, here's a link to a complete listing.

http://www.morningtoncrescent.org.au/rules

this site sometimes fails to load but bear with it and try again in a few days time. Failing that, you should be able to pick it up quite easily though some of the finer points of the game, eg: diagnols, might be beyond you for a while.



So, please use THIS thread for any discussion about the game,

Cre'at a different thread if you wish to start a round yourself. Please state the rules that you wish to use at the start of your first post.


thank you - and lets hope we have many happy times playing the same game as Napolean, Queen Victoria, Churchill, our own George Macfadyan and Tim Brooke Taylor!



all aboard!
