Taxi!

About this game

Players represent drivers plying for hire on the roads of Central London. They have to pick and drop off passengers to earn fares. 3 pickup points cards are visible to all players and the first to get to a passenger picks them up. The passenger and destination and 'chance type' card is then revealed. Fares are calculated based on the number of squares between the two points when the taxi reaches that point. Players can undercut fares to get passengers and buy a second taxi when enough money is earned by a player.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
