Title: Advent quiz- day 4 - "Pilning" - round 1 Post by: grahame on December 04, 2021, 07:36:00 A little different today - we're going to play a game of "Pilning". We'll follow the rules of "Mornington Crescent" using the Shapps extension which allows new station projects in marginals. Unlike the usual quizzes, members may post to this thread as many times as they like; you are encouraged to explain any unusual moves as not everyone extends the rules.
Should you post a move which places us at the bar in The Plough, please start a new thread for round 2. I'm off for much of the day to help manage a road closure for Santa!

OK, let's closer still: Old Oak Common HST depot, and specifically the conference room on the first floor of the portakabin buildingTitle: Re: Advent quiz- day 4 - "Pilning" - round 1 Post by: johnneyw on December 04, 2021, 21:07:29 Getting closer now.....o-oh....Henbury Loop!

MORNINGTON CRESCENT! But I may have been caught out by the catchpoints so I'll have to wait and see what Humph's ruling was when I get up in the morning.
