About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoy fast-paced games that mix adrenaline with a dash of mischief, Taxi Over will be your new addiction. Forget real-world traffic; here, the goal is to drive your taxi as fast as you can, but watch out for sinkholes that might end your run! The gameplay is straightforward: you control a taxi mounted on neutral 'carriers' and roll dice to move. The catch? You choose how many dice to roll, one at a time. If you keep the sum at 4 or less, you move forward, and the more dice you use, the faster you go. However, if the total exceeds that limit, you're 'busted', knocked off the board, and forced to pay a penalty into the central pot. It's a classic 'push your luck' scenario where greed can cost you dearly.

The board is pure chaos, and interaction is constant. As taxis move, they push anyone in their way. There are specific exit points where you can literally shove opponents off the track, which is not only hilarious but also adds more chips to the pot everyone is chasing. To get back in, you must wait for an available carrier, which can set you back significantly. The main objective is to collect chips from the pot as you pass by, and the first player to reach 10 chips wins. It's a high-speed game, perfect for filling the gap between heavier titles or livening up a gathering of friends who enjoy direct, no-nonsense competition. With rules you can explain in two minutes and a playtime under 20, Taxi Over is that chaotic fun that doesn't take itself too seriously, but guarantees laughter whenever someone gets pushed off the track at the worst possible moment.
