As others correctly pointed out, I'm referring to the parodic panel game "Mornington Crescent" from I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue; the "game" is ostensibly about making moves from tube stop to tube stop while obeying an immensely complicated set of rules which are written down in full in a gigantic book... which doesn't exist in the real world.
The Wikipedia article is fairly anodyne, but the talk page was surprisingly acrimonious on the topic of whether this joke is a game, or whether this game is a joke; ultimately, the side insisting it is so a real game seemed like they were attempting to prevent Wikipedia from "spoiling" it by stating outright that there are no actual rules:

... which reminds me of the surprising persistence with which some people tried to get Wikipedia to state that drop bears are real:
