    “Up next, a game of Mornington Crescent!”

      Could be interesting if Anasigma try to use Rushton’s Reversal while Skinhorse occupy Camden, but only if the Yellow rules are in force.

        Would that be the 1972 Yellow Rules, or the 1987 Chartreuse Revision? Under the original rules, Anasigma would have quite the advantage, but under the revision Skin Horse could attempt to counter Rushton’s Reversal with the Three Knight’s Gambit (assuming they enough blue tokens, of course).

          Oh God, people are talking about Mornington Crescent in the comments. The bizarreness of this strip has finally spilled over! XD

            Mornington Crescent tube station isn’t THAT far underground… and besides, it is totally redundant. Half the trains between Euston and Camden Town don’t even stop there.

            It’s not THAT weird yet… Now, if they pulled out a deck of cards and started playing Fizzbin, then it would be weird.

    It is Ruby! Nice to see her again.

    Does having assembled one of your opponents count as an unfair advantage?

    When I first read the fourth panel, I thought she meant like a boss “fight” entrance.

    (TUNE: “Brain Damage”, Pink Floyd)

    The cyborg girl, she says “Hello!”
    The cyborg girl says, “Way to go!
    You found us fast, without the use of force …
    Advantage goes to Team Skin Horse!”

    The other team is in the hall!
    The other team came through the wall!
    And Ruby says, with wide adoring eyes,
    “Advantage Anasigma guys!”

     And when mad geniuses are living underground,
     They sure don’t make it easy to be found!
     And Unity complains that NATO keeps her down!
     Which one of them will find St. Charlie town?

    Now see, Ms. Bee will clench her hands …
    “Check your positions!” she commands.
    She’s a machine, with hair that’s long and blonde …
    Will she and Ruby start to bond?

     And if your entrance … is peaceful or it’s boss,
     Who gets the win? Who gets the loss?
     One team will wear a smile, the other team will frown
     For only one will find St. Charlie town!

    Between the dynamite, A-Sig’s tunneling, and Ruby’s pointless goggles I kinda like to pretend this whole series has been a clandestine recognition of ‘Dig-Dug’s’ 30th anniversary

    “No fair! I’d do that id NATO’d let me” is a GREAT line. It would make a GREAT shirt too.

    So is Ruby still seeing the shapeshifting blob guy? I need to know! Ruby was one of my favorite one-off characters!

    …what *was* so boss about a-sig’s entrance? it wasn’t more destructive than unity busting the concrete. does ruby just dig matching t-shirts?

      As a battle andriod, Ruby probably has a special place in her heart for explosives. Really, who doesn’t like a good explosion entrance (provided it’s not your wall that’s being exploded)?

    Why is the robot telling them what to do! ‘Cause the other A-sig members are like mostly peaceful scientists. YOU FOOLS! YOU CEDED CONTROL!!

    So, Team Anasigma makes a kick-ass explosives-aided entrance, complete with hard-boiled Special Forces dialogue? They’re lucky this isn’t Mundementia One, is all I’m saying.
