The London Game is a British board game based on the London Underground, initially released by the company Condor in 1972 and reissued in 1997 with updated graphics to mark twenty-five years since its debut. It is played by two to six players, takes about five minutes to set up and one to two hours to play, and is aimed at ages seven and up, calling on strategy and geography skills with a medium level of chance. Each player begins at one of five major London stations, Paddington, Liverpool Street, King's Cross St Pancras, Victoria or Waterloo, and must navigate through six randomly selected central stations before racing back to their own starting station while managing obstacles and competing against the other players. The Wikipedia article does not name a specific designer, crediting only Condor as the original publisher.
