Description

A unique game from the 30s in that, aside from the basic 'roll and move' mechanism, players are allowed to "cheat". Each player has a Cab to pick up and drop off passengers for points... they also have a 'scout' car which is used to track down opponents cars which have broken the rules of the game. There are some limits to how to 'break' the rules (e.g.- if you want to move more than you rolled, it can only be 6 spaces), however, as soon as you move more than you have rolled, you are ready to be arrested by one of your opponent's scout cars and you will have penalties applied. Once all 28 passengers have been delivered, the game is over... the winner is the player who had the most fares. Earlier versions of the game allowed up to 6 players, but later versions reduced this to 4.
