About the game
Rev up your engine and get ready for urban chaos! In Taxi Derby, you aren't just a driver; you're a competitor in the rapidly growing and frenetic city of Ixat. The city is expanding at breakneck speed, and a new ride-sharing app has just disrupted the traditional taxi market. Now, the race is on: who can provide the best service and snag the most lucrative passengers?

This is a medium-weight strategy game where you must balance building an efficient service with the audacity to risk it all for extra profit. Featuring a dynamic pick-up and deliver system, you'll navigate routes on a modular board that changes every game, ensuring no two rides are ever the same. You'll need to manage your resources and decide exactly when to floor it or brake to avoid losing both the client and your profit! It's the kind of game that blends the satisfaction of building an efficient engine with the adrenaline of deciding if one more trip is worth the risk. If you enjoy logistics games with a touch of tension and competition, Taxi Derby is your next destination!
