Mornington Crescent (game)

Uncommon card · No. 161912

Mornington Crescent is an improvisational comedy game featured in the BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (ISIHAC), a series that satirises panel games. An earlier game, Finchley Central, is remarkably similar. The gameplay consists of each panellist in turn announcing a landmark or street, most often a London Underground station. The ostensible aim is to be the first to announce "Mornington Crescent", a station on the Northern line. 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. However, as all of these rules and strategies are fictional, the actual aim of the game is to entertain the other participants and listeners by inventing and discussing them.
