Players are licensed taxicab drivers on the roads of central
London.
Each player starts with money but must pay a licence fee.
Move around the board to find passengers, take them to their destinations and be paid the fare and a tip. During the journey the player may receive penalties
or rights to rewards or bonuses. With enough money, a
player may licence a second taxi which is identified by a flag made with a pin (not supplied) and a small piece of gummed
paper (supplied). Each taxi cab has a small slit at the top of the recess
next to the driver into which the pin can be inserted to form a flag pole.
The game may be played with 5 or
6 players but without second taxis.
The winner is the first player to earn a
pre-determined amount of money.
The rules booklet includes an
introduction to the game emphasising the benefits and enjoyment of learning
about
London.
The colour pictures
and names of the various passengers on the cards are wonderfully presented.
