Proceed to the Clapham omnibus and ride it to the terminus. Do not pass Mornington Crescent.

UM, Beginner here! Still learning the basics. So correct me if I'm violating this variant, but I think Warwick Avenue is quite sufficient

Using the north wing gambit, I shall neatly avoid Euston (and of course the loopback to oxford circus) and play ...
Uxbridge

Hmmm... Oh I see. You're playing the signal bypass route. Very nice. Quite easy to fall in to the High Barnett, Edgeware Road, Mornington Crescent trap. However, use of the Swedish inversion rule at this point would put pressure towards Canary Warf, assuming of course that the DLR is in play. The 1932 rule ammendment about the Central Line and the signal failure clauses didn't take this into account so I'll play the safe route and drop down to ...
Waterloo!
How's that for a slip.

[please take note at this point I have not played this game properly before, so I don't have quite the repertoire... as long as this game involves what I think it does then I'll see what I can do]
Waterloo huh. Well, unfortunately that blocks of my first choice, via the First Option Rule of 1983, meaning that I shall have to instead use the Interrogation tactic and say:
Parsons Green

Tufnell Park?! Are you playing to loose? Or do I detect a faint hint of the Nyquist/Palomer game of 1908.
Well, you've forced my hand:
Dollis Hill.

Well at least he didn't say Elephant and Castle or I would have been forced to recall the Tabletop rule of 1942. As it is, you leave me easy ground to say:
Kensington High St

I'm afraid that's an elementary mistake- under the Berko/Gleason alteration of 1961, I can now say, with the greatest of confidence:
CAMDEN TOWN!

Rule variants are for wimps - inventive play is quite posssible under the original Wells version:
Elephant and Castle
