Earl's Court!
Elephant & Castle
Are we playing Australian Rules and if so does that include the Hobart sanction?
Sloan Square
Hobart is Stoffard 2nd. edition, isn't it?
No, 3rd. Ed. in the appendix.
As this is Mr Wilkins's blog we're playing Australian Rules so Sydney Harbour Bridge and I get a free go for the Intercontinental Transition.
We don't have that here and I find the rules incomprehensible, so I have to start a local game:
Long Beach Aquarium.
Damn, my copy of the third edition is still in transit.
Oh well, I'm sure Embankment is still legal.
Since we've had Earl's Court, and this game is Australian themed, how about Aldwych (the Mecca of beat up VW camper vans).
WARNING TO ALL PLAYERS
This game has been hijilled (1). Don't panic; the authorities have been informed and a unit of the SGS (2) will be parachuted into the playing area within the next 24 hours. Until then stay calm and try not to provoke the hijiller into making any moves that could bring the game into disrepute.
(1)To hijill: = verb: feminist form of to hijack.
(2)SGS: Special Games Service. Elite unit of referees especially trained to deal with incidences of international game terrorism
I guess the hijiller would end up in Guantanamo, if they weren't already in knip.

No, this being a silly game she will be forced to sing Guantanamera!
I was ready to find that SGS (2) was a riff on SG1. And continuing with the Stargate theme, and still not understanding the rules: Cheyenne Mountain Complex. Oh, but wait, if there are no local rules, I can make them up.
Sticking to Australian rules and moving into silverback territory University of Queensland.
Well then you have to go to the Great Barrier Reef, which is a deadend - once there, you are forced to remain there for the rest of the game.
Hey, no making rules up as you go along!
ha ha Robin, you forgot to make a move and that puts you three stations behind. Which lets me put in the double luff: Frankston!
Apparently nobody else understands the local rules except for me, so I continue solo: Hollywood Bowl.
It's my free move and I'm going outback Uluru
