Mornington Crescent 

Mornington Crescent is a game featured in the BBC Radio 4 comedy panel game Im Sorry I Haven't a Clue''. The game satirises complicated strategy games, particularly the obscure jargon involved in such games as contract bridge or chess.

A game consists of each player in turn announcing a landmark or street, most often a tube station on the London Underground system; the winner is the first player to announce "Mornington Crescent," a station on the Northern Line. The humour of the game is that though the rules are invoked and argued, they are never fully explained.
