I haven't played this for ages. Anybody up for a game?

Given that it's nearly Christmas, I nominate the Seasonal ruleset, and the Winter timetable is in effect.
Although to make for a better game, we'll ignore Wilkins Siding rule as I've never seen the point of it, and its exclusion doesn't spoil the game at all.

Ok.

Paddington.

It's a bit early to play this, um, card, but I've got a flight to catch and won't be here for much longer so I might as well do it now.

Knew that would stump you all, but if you think about it, there's quite a cunning move that can be made.

sorry thought we were playing cobald rules, surely Kilburn Park is a linear bisection.

I went to the page that has the "rules" it just says it was started on some radio show but the they decided to keep the rules secret, then realised noone stuck to the rules as they didn't know them and hence no rules were really used.

It fails to mention what the "goal" of the game is or how it's placed.

So you're all naming street names then?
Euh seemingly randomly.

Fine, fine I can do that.

Oxford Street!
Dorpsstraat!
Aachener Strasse!
Rue de Moulin!
Palaiologou!

Look, it's perfectly simple, you've got to block all opponents attempts to make it to the Crescent. Could it be any plainer?
