I considered that a few turns ago but I discounted it as being below my skill level. :lol:

Welcome GOING UNDERGROUND. There are so many tokens and line inversions in play that you've a lot of ground to make up, but if you can keep up with the line velocity you have every chance-good luck to you!

I'm going to play a white token to end the current phase and as it's a Thursday I can move us directly to:

Excellent. Laying down a triple-Jones,

MARYLEBONE allows Green to move two spaces clockwise.

GOING UNDERGROUND, welcome to Mornington Crescent; make sure you fully invert the circle before attempting to play any station or blot north of the Line, though!

No, GU, don't worry, it was perfectly legal. I was just warning you against a common error in the Noble Game.

Can I just point out that as of Saturday (my birthday), this game CAN end.

But why would we want to do that? Let's make this the longest game of MC ever.

Masterful work, TG. That cuts all eight Grand Diagonals.

OAKWOOD (whose new roller coaster, "Speed", opened today).

As all the diagonals have been cut, I can only escape by going far, far, into the future to:

NEW EARTH.

Get out of that one on a Friday!

Diagonals cut, future enabled, past completed, loop inverted and Line highlighted, triple overhead striles performed at all major interchange points AND I have more than seventeen golden tokens...

...which leaves me with only one option:

MORNINGTON CRESCENT!

Cue controversy!
