The Snake

Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

We knew it was coming. I had realised, and so didn't play.

Lambeth North then!

Bermondsey

Nope, let's keep this game going for a bit. I want to see how long we can stay alive.

Good idea. Lets go to New Cross next, then

St John's

I wonder if people are playing with different goals - I find it interesting to try and keep the game going as long as possible rather than take it into a dead end

Let's go to Hither Green, with potential to double back to Lewisham as we have bypassed it.

All right, then - Lewisham!

As to playing with different aims, I did explain in the original post that the person who played a move such that no other player can go was the winner, but having players in it trying to keep the snake going is adding to the fun! :-) In the last game, I thought the game was drawing to a close when I took us to TCR because Goodge Street leads to Warren Street (dead end because Euston and Oxford Street had already gone), Holborn gives the opportunity to play Russell Square (KXSP already used), and Leicester Square gave the opportunity to play Covent Garden, which leads to Holborn (I would have played CG but my phone forgot the password and though I could see we were at Leicester Square, by the time I'd logged in we'd set off in another, completely unexpected direction, which was great!)
