Mornington Crescent is a strategy game played on the London Underground map, the aim being to move to Mornington Crescent. So far, so much like any other game.

But then, not every game has a 125 volume rulebook; few games have (literally) warring standards bodies; and no other game has an oral tradition stretching back to pre-Pharaonic Egypt.

Having pointed out these truths about Mornington Crescent, you will I am sure understand me when I say that I cannot explain the Game - steeped in theory though it is, you must play MC to understand it.

Facets
There are many aspects to the Game. This meagre page can act only as a gateway into the World of Crescent. By using the navigation bar to the side, you will (eventually) find resources on:
  • Web MC - there is a thriving community of players on the web
  • I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - the Radio 4 panel game, vitally important in popularising the Game amongst the general public in recent years
  • Pilgrims - for those Players fortunate enough to live near to London (or who happen to be in the vicinity) there are opportunities to pay homage at the Station itself. These are records of some of those Pilgrimages
  • Mornington Nomic - an ongoing effort to construct an alternate ruleset for Mornington Crescent using Nomic mechanics as a framework
  • Maps - popular as blind MC is, playing Mornington Crescent well often requires a map
  • Links - information and resources about MC, the London Underground, and transportation networks in general.
  • Data - the opportunities for naked stats-mongering are legion in Crescent!
