In memorial to Humph, how about round of Mornington Crescent.
I realise the great game can be a little intimidating to newcomers, so might I suggest we start out with The Standard Deviation which, according to The Little Book of Mornington Crescent, 2000 is:
I would also suggest that, given this is a forum, and turns etc. are a little more complicated to manage, we play with Poincaré's variation, which broadly means the order of play is unimportant, and not every player has to play in each round (though obviously not player is permitted to have two successive turns - The so called Rushton Limit)
So, if there are any taker I'll start out with:
Elephant and Castle
