We had this marvellous game in England which was British Rail, and you had to work out how to get from place A to place B most efficiently, and we were all up on the entire rail system plus tourist destinations. Such geeky fun.
That sounds awesome.
I clearly need more games.

As I said earlier, along with Clue it was my favorite childhood game.
I bet I'd still love giving people flat tires!
That never gets old!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've never heard of that, jc.

With less toilet action, though.
I found it! The Great Game of Britain! I'd totally buy it...except it'd be even more lonely and loserish than my Super Scrabble.

The status is NOT quo.
ita, you should come to our next game night! Always good fun, and I promise we won't play Snakes/Chutes and Ladders.
