Sorry, but with only three green chips and transrail spooned, what could I do?
Dollis Hill - unavoidable; given the Brooke-Taylor Trellis (North Wales) amendments the loop still stands.
Hint: notwithstanding rules lawyer grandstanding by the Leamington Spa mob, anyone holding three Kings or a +3 magic item can break this loop - think 3d.
Incidentally we should have started this game next month really when the Grassington and Linton Mornington Crescent and Ferret Bog-Jousting society are publishing the new ruleset. And I'm glad to say it's free of Leamington Spa silliness. Far too many modifiers to keep track in their edition! I thank God it never passed Lyttleton-Cryer playtesting.
I hate to challenge this move given it would break the DH Loop, but surely that goes against at least the spirit of the Curbar and Baslow Spoon conventions? They don't mention the cursed loop directly but it's common practice to take them as the foundational principle for Loops, Nidd and Spoon owing to their shared characteristics
Otherwise I don't see how Meibion Llanuwchllyn won that semi-final in Llanfihangel-ym-Mochnant in 2006.

I take your point. Would you accept Cynfal
Good play! I think that sees a home straight opening - Barking (how terribly appropriate, given mention of Leamington Spa...)
I’m slightly tentative here, as I’m a bit of a rank amateur compared to most of you (in awe at a lot of the gameplay I see here), but doesn’t the validity of that depend on whether you accept the Livingstone-Johnson-Khan hypothesis?
Wouldn’t a Wanstead-Redbridge-Gants Hill-Newbury Park-Barkingside eastern axis rollout be preferable? Just a suggestion!

Sorry, do you think this is played in some sort of fantasy world?
Liverpool Street (because it will be on the Elizabeth line)
Well that nicely allows me to play my rarely used just-arrived-within-the-Underground-coverage-area-in-real-life card with my nearest current station: Gloucester Road.
You've nearly got me boxed in there, Karl. With the Vortex invoked, of course, anything east of Marble Arch is usually in Huff, but by playing Milan, you let me wriggle out with a rather neat mountain exchange.
Well I would have gone up the Como Funicular to Brunate, but that last play closes that and puts the whole EU in Spoon. So this will make things interesting until either someone can get a reverse shunt into Canada or Mexico, or Brexit happens.
Think though I can go to Thangorodrim under the existing Vortex.
Sorry CK - by trying to bypass without a token, your move is void, and you're splinched for the next three turns. That puts us back in Pittsburgh, and leaves me with a spare trump for a sideways move with a mettalic symmetry.

*koff koff* EU in Spoon - but under the Palterton and Glapwell International X-post rules the ball in these cases is played where it lies.

Put that in your chanter and blow it.

Bank - always a good bet.
Nah, that was just the new Clacks tower going up; doesn't affect diagonals.
Hmmm - think that might go into Nidd again
But wait - Dollis Hill
Reddish South
In that case it’ll have to be Ankh-Morpork city on the semaphore line.
It must be nearly time for Evensong:

"Baptist End railway station was a station on the former Great Western Railway's Bumble Hole Line between Blowers Green and Old Hill. "
I mean, seriously !
*cough* you forgot your move...
Damn. Tooting

Now you're just being silly.

Why! At least Minffordd has two railway stations which is two more than Denham Golf Club!
Ahem. Fact checked. 1 more than Denham Golf Club.

Before anyone asks I've mortgaged everything not on the Northern Line to pay for it. And raised my Con by one for additional hit points.
