tags: #publish links: [[Games]] created: 2021-10-02 Sat --- # Mornington Crescent A "game" from the comedy/satire panelist gameshow *I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue*. Contestants take turns naming London tube stations and the "winner" is the first to name **Mornington Crescent**. The "game" is really the performance of ostensibly playing a meaningful game with rules and strategy, making it entertaining and convincing with drama and disputes over the "rules" and their variations, while actually the structure doesn't make any sense as a competitive game. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game) See also [[xkcd - Right Click]], which contains a nested Mornington Crescent game and some others, somewhat in keeping with this philosophy.
