By Anna Duncan

Are you looking for an exciting new board game to play with your friends and family? Look no further than the London Game!

This game is a thrilling adventure through the streets of one of the world’s most iconic cities, and it’s easy to learn. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to play the London Game step-by-step.

Setup

Before you start playing, you’ll need to set up the game board. The London Game board is a colorful map of London with different colored squares representing different neighborhoods. Each player chooses a colored playing piece and places it on the starting space.

Gameplay

To begin, each player rolls the dice. The player who rolls the highest number goes first, and play proceeds clockwise around the table.

On your turn, roll both dice and move your playing piece forward that number of spaces. If you land on a colored square, draw a card from that neighborhood’s deck. These cards will either have you answer trivia questions about London or have you carry out a special action.

If you answer a trivia question correctly, you get to keep the card. The first player to collect one card from each neighborhood wins!

Special Actions

Some cards will have special actions that need to be taken when drawn:

Moving Taxi: Move your playing piece to any other location on the board.
Bobby: Move Bobby (the police officer) forward 1-4 spaces.
Tunnel: Move through any tunnel on the board and come out at any other tunnel exit.

The “Get Out of Jail Free” Card

If you land on a space with bars on it labeled “Go To Jail,” draw a jail card. You must follow its instructions, which may include losing some of your cards or missing a turn. If you draw the “Get Out of Jail Free” card, you can use it to get out of jail immediately without any penalty.

Winning the Game

The first player to collect one card from each neighborhood wins! But watch out – if you land on a space with a black square and no action is required, you lose all your cards and must start over.

Conclusion

The London Game is a fun and exciting way to explore one of the world’s most famous cities. With trivia questions, special actions, and a race to collect all the cards, this game is sure to keep everyone engaged and entertained. So gather up your friends and family and get ready for an adventure through the streets of London!
