A: Liverpool Street - I think that's it!

Is that the longest game yet?

I think so! Except perhaps the sample. You had me from the beginning though.

Perhaps we could try a version using the Oyster Rail Services map? Would have to be called Trainblock - but apart from that could be fun!

We'd have to redefine where interchange is possible - perhaps where there are two stations with the same name connected by the white interchange bubbles?

Actually I thought you were in charge for most of that game. I made a bad mistake by letting you take Green Park. And I think you could have avoided defeat on your last move by going to Covent Garden instead of Russell Square, but I haven't worked through all the possibilities.

That sounds like a great idea! Let me think about it for a bit, and I'll try to draw up a new set of rules.

I still can't quite get my head around this game. It appears to require quite a lot of mental visualisation to know what's going on?

You need a tube map in front of you to mark the stations off on.
