Description

You and your fellow Taxi drivers are competing for fairs in Curbside, a relatable game of ride sharing. Compete with other players to pick up and drop off passengers phoned in by dispatch. Place tiles to create a pathway to passengers and their drop off destinations. Reroute your GPS when a path won't get you there fast enough. But watch your gas meter! With every space your Taxi moves your gas goes down. The game is finished when all the passengers arrive at their destinations or a Taxi runs out of gas!
