l
liberal coalition
rules Defined by David Lloyd-George at the May Fair Synod of 1922. Better
known as his New May Fair Rules. These pre-date, and must not be
confused with his Further May Fair Rules of later that year. If in
doubt, remember the handy aide-mémoire often recited by seasoned
players: Lloyd-George New May Fair - The Further New
Lloyd-George. Remember, Prince of Wales Drive can only be approached from
the South, and 3 Shepherds in a row earns a bonus point.
lifts &
escalators A modern adjunct to the Ancient and Modern Rules. In this
version play starts at Fairlop. If at any point of the game a player lands on
an underground station with operational lift service he must return immediately
to Fairlop. If he lands on an elevator however, he is quickly catapulted to
Chalk Farm Road.

variation This variation is more refined than the regular game, having been
imported from London by stokers on the great steam cargo ships of the
Industrial Revolution. When a player is Stymied by his immediate
opponent, this is known as Mating, and when a player’s route is
blocked, this is known as Docking. If a player is both Mated
and Docked, then he is in Heseltine, and forced to miss a
turn.

crescent During this variation the players have to manoeuvre themselves
physically around a large and fully illustrated map. The game is played
according to Standard Metropolitan Rules as defined by
Norton’s 3rd Convention, therefore blocking is not allowed,
Southern approach routes are out of bounds, and the Poke Holder always plays
advantage
lord
grosvenor’s original metropolitan rules This version was devised during
his influential period as Minister of Tourism and the emphasis is very much on
scenic routes. National monuments score double, and players must keep to zones
1 and 2 only.
