Indeed.

But four pages in and the ball is just starting to reverse.

A toe-crusher.....

A five dimensional board is a difficult thing.

awesome move, you could have put a tail on that and called it La Reynard for its cunning.

I like how this is starting simple and gradually getting more involved. Good play, folks.

I think I'm going to play Liverpool Street, collecting a purple token for passing through MC without stopping.

As we’ve had Old Kent Rd earlier bringing the 1986 Monopoly rules in force it’ll have to be Kings Cross St Pancras

It’s the only way to learn. No point being all nice & easy.

Does this invoke the Hainault Loop clause? I have a feeling it does but I'd hate to play an amateur blunder in a simple confusion over 1986 Monopoly Rules vs the Essex Rules variant.

I believe the hainault loop is in play.
However i am playing a walkie talkie melted car wild card and going dlr to gallions reach.
Good luck with that

Playing Fentaman’s 5th amendment from the 1963 (abridged edition) of the rules.....

Pudding Mill Lane!

After 1030 on a Sunday so under the conserve anomaly I may no longer visit Paddington or Baker St and too early for Victora. I'm worried for funmasterp that Pudding Mill Lane is caught by the same but cannot find the relevant reference in the script just now. May depend on whether he's gone savoury?

Looking like Embankment for a change of direction for me.

"Purple tokens" They were annexed in 2037 by Zorba the Melancholy from High Wycombe, no new amendment was passed, but regulation 7b was applied therefore Upney to Uxbridge direct using reverse time travel in a vertical parallax. I have spent the £200 in the usual way C and H.
I confirm Uxbridge.

Which leaves the lateral play wide open.

No need to worry garage-dweller. I can confirm that I’ve gone savoury by way of the Niyazi Usta Artisan Bakery on Usher road. Called in for a travel snack before embarking.

Ok.
Gloves off.

Get out of that and stay fashionable.

Playing a cagey game now, nothing crazy, just trying to draw an error....

Tooting Bec

Be careful now, other players, there is a precedent for this. If you know, you know....

Using a move used by the great Willy Rushton in a episode back in 1977
I'm going to play Swiss Cottage.

Shoeburyness.

I'm glad we've stopped pissing about btw.
Rules are rules.
No point playing otherwise.

Hang on..... shoeburyness
That's hardly cricket is it.
You had better have a good reason for such flagrant disregard.

Anyway finsbury park

Time to put your big boy pants on.

Finsbury Park?!? Ffs......

Stoke Mandeville. You can have Amersham next if you care so much about A60s.

Except Amersham requires a replacement bus service to be in play - well, when using the engineering works amendment to the Essex rules which I believe we are playing??? Diagonal move only in those circumstances so Cockfosters I think.

Diagonal moves are a no go. See post one by Cougar. Because of your flagrant disregard for the rules I’m forced to play Hackney Central. I know it’s an extreme move, doubly so at 16:29 on a Sunday, but I think it’s justified under the circumstances.

You know where you end up when you take a late night Uber whose GPS has broken & you’re too drunk to direct them?

Well, I’m there....

I don’t think it has a name..

I’ll be back when I’ve worked out where I am!

Stepney Green.

Allowed because the 'Hunt For Red October' precedent says it can, but only in the bottom half of the hour.

Good to see everyone avoided the Monday morning rush hour trap that was set with the Swiss Cottage play at the top of the page. People obviously paying attention.

My cat (previously living at Morden) advised Debden, obviously avoiding the Chigwell loop on Monday.
My cat is not an amateur she holds an MSc in Phsycology.

I confirm Debden.

Trust a player with nine lives to make such a dastardly move. I'll have to play my canine counter move....

Is that even a place?

Gosh, yes, it is. Epping. Who knew. That's a move I don't think I've ever seen, I think we could all learn something from your cat.

I thought I knew this game backwards and I don't have the faintest clue how to move on from here. Has dexa just stalemated the game? Anyone see anything?

Debden was a fairly major RAF base in the Battle of Britain I seem to recall...

Do I get auxiliary nerd points for that?

Oh, and.....
