Do you play Mornington Crescent by yourself?

Come on, admit it you map geeks.

I keep forgetting to look that game up. I've heard it on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue but I don't understand what it is.

It's a surrealist humour game where you go about the London Undergroud system, station y station citingrules and moves that are made-up on the spot and then debated with nonsense arguments and at the end of the game someone declares "Mornington Crescent" to win the game.

Ah. I thought it was a word association or something. I didn't know any of the names they were using so I didn't understand how it was won. Although the times I've heard it there hasn't been any debates or nonsense arguments, it's just taking turns saying a name. I couldn't understand what was so funny about it but everyone was laughing anyway.

Well what you hear is often two parts.

For example,

"Park with Black to Piccadilly Circus"

Park with Black is a move, not a name of a station.
