This expansion, 'Venice: Taxi Service', introduces a new element that will stir up the canals: the Doge himself needs a ride! Yes, the highest leader of Venice is now your most VIP cargo. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to ensure His Excellency reaches his destination safely and, as a bonus, earn points and favors for the service rendered. Just imagine being the official taxi driver for the Doge! This expansion adds an extra layer of strategy and scoring opportunities, integrating seamlessly with the original experience. You'll need to optimize your routes and manage your resources even more carefully to meet this special demand.
