Rules: Type the name of a place (town, city, village or whatever). The next player types the name of another place that starts with the last letter of the previous place. i.e London could then be followed by Newcastle.
The first person to say Westward Ho! is the winner as to my knowledge, there isn't anywhere in the world that begins with an exclamation mark, so it's a good idea to avoid anywhere ending with W.
So, here goes ...
Birmingham

Is this right?
Manchester
eta: Oh, and no repetition, so 'Liverpool' is a bad idea.

(Brittany, western end but confusingly means "East" as it was the port for the spice route, and thus as far from Westward Ho! as possible. Also vies for the title of ugliest Breton city ever following war damage and reconstruction. And Chorister, surely it's Mornington Crescent as much as ES?)

Posted by L'organist (# 17338) on

I had thought so but if you look upthread there are several instances of people posting Westward Ho! and the game continuing.
But I'm more than happy to take this as an ending.
Posted by Albertus (# 13356) on

Surely the point is that the game can't continue because the last character in Westward Ho! is ! and there are no places that begin with !
You could if you really wanted to start again, though.
