Mornington Crescent:  Cards & Tokens

Tokens

Primary and secondary BSR tokens, in canonical order.  A slash (/) indicates multiple names for the same token

The primary tokens have the corresponding line in brackets.

Pre-1984 BSR rulesets have the diamond, ruby etc. tokens prefixed as "Translucent"

Primary Colour tokens (Total:15 - Canonical order)

• Brown (Bakerloo Token)
• Red (Central Token)
• Yellow (Circle Token)
• Green (District Token)
• Orange (East London Token)
• Pink (Hammersmith & City Token)
• Grey (Jubliee Token)
• Mauve/Indigo (Metropolitan Token)
• Black (Northern Token)
• Purple/Violet (Piccadilly Token)
• Blue (Victoria Token)
• Aqua (Waterloo & City Token)
• White/Colourless (Docklands Light Railway Token)

Secondary Colour tokens (Total:8 - Canonical order)

• Platinum
• Gold
• Silver
• Bronze
• Pyrite (Fools Gold)


• Diamond
• Ruby
• Emerald
• Sapphire
• Crystal

Tertiary tokens

There are far too many tertiary tokens to list, but here are a few of the more common/important ones

• Carbon
• Chartreuse
• Cream
• Magenta
• Navy
• Ochre (Sometimes known as the "vomit" token)
• Puce

All multi-coloured tokens (Except colourmatic) fall into the tertiary set, as do all anti-tokens.  In fact, any token not listed, is a tertiary token

Quaternary tokens are part of the Husselheim ruleset and are therefore invalid in BSR play.
