Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The object of the game is to visit six places of interest and be the first to return to London from where you set off. You travel on the railway networks as they were laid out in the golden age of steam travel.
Product Description
The winner of The London Game is the first player to race around the six tube stations on their cards and return to the start - but it's not going to be easy! This family game for 2-6 players is full of surprises; when you change lines you have to take a hazard card which could send you exactly the wrong way. Even more nail biting, if your opponent rolls a six they could close the next station on your line. Sure to be a hit with all the family.

I had played this at Christmas, having never heard of it before. My partner's family, however, have it as an annual thing... so I bought it for his birthday, and he is gonna LOVE it.
But please please please get another courier. They only deliver M-F (I work) will not arrange alternative delvery address and it took 2 days of phone calls to get them to eventually leave it with a neighbour (and they are not easily reached). A quick search on google and it seems most customers hate the courier service and rate it the worst in britain.

My dad bought this game in the 80s and it's the one game from my childhood that stands out as causing more fun and bad tempted havoc than any other so when I saw that it had been re-issued I had to get a copy to share the fun with my own family. The basic idea is to use the railway network as a game grid. You draw six random "souvenir" cards which are the places you have to visit before returning to London. You travel around the network getting to places and once you have done them all you go home, 1st back to base is the winner. If that was all there was it'd be pretty boring but there are two extra factors, signals and cards. You can place two signals each and a signal requires a throw of a six the break and cards are drawn each time you change networks (FGW to GNER etc) and can either be great "you are minister of transport, rearrange all the signals" to awful "ask each of your fellow players where you should be sent to". These two factors totally change the game and make it extremely strategic. You can't let on where you are off to so that people won't signal it to death and if you annoy the rest of the players too much you can find yourself snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and being sent to Stornoway behind 4 signals when you where on the home leg. It's this element which provides the fun, unexpected victory, grumpy stormings off etc, all wonderful family fun.
