About the game
You are a driver in the city of Ixat. The city is growing at an unprecedented pace and the arrival of a new driving app has led to fierce competition. As the traditional taxi industry has been upended, drivers compete to provide the best service and attract the highest paying customers. Taxi Derby is a thematic pick-up and delivery board game with engine-building and push-your-luck gameplay mechanics from Skipshot Games. This competitive, medium-weight strategy game is for 1-5 players and can be enjoyed by the whole family. —description from publisher

Questions and answers
Taxi Derby supports 1–5 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 Taxi Derby is 45–75 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 Taxi Derby 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.
Taxi Derby has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
