Mackerel

Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

Mackerel

Post by GuyBarry »

My latest attempt at devising a game that's at least halfway sensible - and for once it involves the Underground! The reasons for the name should be obvious, but in case you don't know them they're here.

Each player posts the name of a London Underground station. The name must have no letters in common with the previous name posted. It is not permitted to repeat stations that have been played before. The aim is to see how long it takes before the game becomes impossible.

I'll start with an easy one: Woodford.

I've yet to see a truly original game since Tumbleweed apart from er, Tube Block was it?

Well thanks for that. Tubeblock was a damned good game I thought (even better when extended to Trainblock). Wouldn't mind giving it another go.
