I was on the University of London Air Squadron (for students of London universities who were sponsored by the RAF) and this game was a huge deal. It was played exclusively in the crew room - a room where you sat, ate pot noodles and 'bantered; with other students until it was your turn to go flying.
Of course, the senior students had the luxury of introducing 'rules' as they went along - a power I guarantee I did not abuse...
- "Touchy movey": if you touch a piece, you have to move it
- No counting spaces with your piece as you move. Have to move it directly to the end position
- "Acey deucey": you get an extra turn when you roll 1-2
- "Acey deucey of no usey": chanted in amusement by the other players if there were no valid moves you could play after rolling a 1-2. The dice passed to the next person and you didn't get the extra turn
