Mornington Crescent is a game featured in the BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (ISIHAC), a series that satirises panel games. The game consists of each panellist in turn announcing a landmark or street, most often a tube station on the London Underground system. The ostensible aim is to be the first to announce "Mornington Crescent", a station on the Northern line. Interspersed with the turns is humorous discussion amongst the panellists and host regarding the rules and legality of each move, as well as the strategy the panellists are using. The actual aim of the game is to entertain the other participants and listeners with amusing discussion of the fictional rules and strategies.

  • Mornington Crescent ist ein von Geoffrey Perkins erdachtes Spiel, das durch die BBC Radio 4-Show I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue (ISIHAC) bekannt wurde. Es wurde nach der Londoner U-Bahn-Station Mornington Crescent benannt. Die Spieler spielen ihre Züge, indem sie Namen von Londoner U-Bahnhöfen nennen. Es gewinnt derjenige, der als Erster „Mornington Crescent“ ruft. Das Spiel ist als Parodie auf komplizierte Strategiespiele gedacht und stellt besonders die komplexen Regeln und Terminologie von Skat oder Schach satirisch dar. (de)
