all electric
Now that we are out of Europe and all of those ridiculous petty health and safety rules no longer apply, the teams are now free to play an exhilarating version of the game, first introduced after the electrification of the railways. Play takes place over the standard grid as you would expect, only this one is electrified. Each player makes a move by plugging in a connection to their destination of choice. Foul moves will result in a mild electric shock being administered to the player. Three shocks and the player will be in Nid.

A version possibly played by Josiah Wedgwood himself. Nowadays referred to as Speed Mornington Crescent, this variation has become chiefly the preserve of the showman due both to the strict time limit imposed between moves as well as the suspension of all blind side boundaries. As you can imagine, in the hands of experienced players it can be breath-taking to watch.
