Oh yes - how often do you get to play the Mallard Gambit? I call Kentish Town. Take that...

It's played on the London Underground map. People take turns naming stations and... well, I'm sure you'll pick the rest up as you go.

Are you playing the "cannot be next to Mornington Crescent or 3 stops away or 5 stops away" rule, or is it just the more liberal "anything goes" rulebook of 1994?

You cannot invoke this rule and use a station twice in the same game. Didn't you read paragraph 2 on page 395?!? Are you blind? Please take the game more seriously Iain.

If we're playing no-holds barred, then I will invoke the Terry Wogan Hairpiece Trump outlawed for a short period following ugly scenes at the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest - High Barnet
