I'm bored so let's have a play of this fine. majestic game.

Right Republic rules (just the same as Senate rules but no left-sided gambits)

I'll start with

'Sloan Square' over to you...........

Nice opener, if a little unconventional, I'll plump for,

Oxford Circus.

Im pretty sure this is allowed under the most recent revised rules:

Holland Park

(Good luck to the next player getting out of that one easily!)

i didn't think you could player Holland Park without Turnham Green having already been played?
but i bow to your greater knowledge

let's see which of the three options the next player chooses to follow my turn, Bayswater

I almost played Tottenham Court Road then, forgetting the Hammersmith jink!

Instead, I'll use my first gambit, and go for Chancery Lane, which was my only real option.

Oooh very good. Given previous moves I have to plump for....

North Acton

I must pull out the penultimate move......

Filthy Sanchez

Hot Karl

Well really, if you're not going to take the game seriously.

I see where you are going with North Acton, and I'm not falling for that one. So I shall choose, hmmm,

Great Portland Street, or is that a little too obvious.

Brimon is right actually after Great Portman Street there is only two real plays and I'm only going to tell you one.

Euston Square

Euston Square

but all moves were void once i won, so forget it
Great portman st was void because i already completed - why can't you read?

How can you complete without a Terminal Wildcard?

Good move Banquo, but perhaps a touch aggresive.

I think it's time we threw Embankment into the equation.

Mind the gap!

incorrect. i played Mornington Crescent because of the small loophole in the rules that you can MC early following two successive plays from the same person!
