It's not definitely sure, who exported what, as the ancient version of "Non iguato Crescent" or later "Mornington iguana Cressentaris" where even played by Romans, although they had to declare diagonals by stairs pattern, and also ellyptical prograss was unknown, only circles where allowed. Maybe the french version is a result of this. But it is clear to say, that "Brittish" Mornigton Crescent today knows more variation as "Stora Mossom" (Swedish variant) or "Lorenzkirche" (a German one).

Actually according to the Wikipedia page, someone made an equivalent game where the goal on the Paris metro is Château d’Eau. Myself I would have chosen Montparnasse-Bienvenüe since it has similar length, starts with the same 2 letters, and also is an homage to the creator of the metro. Another would be to call it Raymond Queneau, station named after the author of “Zazie dans le métro.” As a master of ‘pataphysics he would have loved the game. I want to introduce the game to Montreal! Suggestions for the goal?

@@mr51406 I don't know about Montreal, but in Boston we go for Downtown Crossing in the modern rules. The traditional rules, of course, predate that name and instead the target is Washington Street. If it were up to me to define the Montreal rules, I would want the target to be Côte-Saint-Catherine. It has a nice sort of euphony to it.

Of course, if your opponent goes south of the river as a result of the bilateral pass, he can counter you by performing the Trafalgar Trap, which would take him to Charing Cross. From there, your only hope is to bypass him on the Bakerloo Line, keeping one hand on your Cockfosters for emergencies.

It depends a great deal which ruleset you use. The Ambleside-Walkden reforms of 1948 did a great deal to simplify the game by removing side fumbling and streamlining the rules around orthogonal upshoots, which were notoriously tricky. Once you've got the basic principle down that you can't return linewards if your opponent isn't in hock, the rest just falls into place.
