The game consists of each panellist in turn announcing a landmark or street, most often a London tube station. The ostensible aim is to be the first to announce “Mornington Crescent”. Interspersed with the turns is humorous discussion amongst the panellists and host regarding the rules and legality of each move, as well as the strategy the panellists are using. The actual aim of the game is to entertain the other participants and listeners with amusing discussion of the fictional rules and strategies.
Yes, you can play the obvious trump card on turn 1 and win but where’s the fun in that?
All fun and games until you open your camera app and it’s in selfie mode, instantly catching the QR code and bricks your own phone.
That makes no sense, cause why would you intentionally click on the link you inadvertently scanned to brick your own phone?
Because people are idiots and like to press buttons.
