About the game
How to visit Havana in one afternoon? The only solution is to take one of these old taxis with glowing chromium. There is a problem though; you're not the only one to have had this idea! Your adversaries will also try to take the best way in order to complete their course before you do! In order to fill their program of visits, tourists will travel by taxi. It will be necessary to choose yours according to its destination and its frequency. The more people sharing a taxi, the less expensive it is, but the taxi then goes slower because it’s filled! On the other hand, if you want to ride in a beautiful new American taxi, your taxi will go more quickly but the price will be higher. Will you find the proper compromise when you make your choices? You mark points by visiting the most monuments possible. To win, it will constantly be necessary to try and arrive at a balance between your desire to travel alone and go quickly, so you can get to as many points of interest as you can, and the budgetary constraint that will force you at one time or another to share the leather bench of your taxi with other noisy tourists!

Questions and answers
Habana Taxi supports 3–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Habana Taxi is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Habana Taxi for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Habana Taxi has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
