<hr />
<div>===Overview===<br />
<br />
The game continues until the tiles run out or a player can't place a tile<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Turn===<br />
<br />
The start player may rotate the space station as much as they desire until one of the depots is facing them and likewise a depot is facing each of the other players<br />
<br />
Each player now drafts 1 tile from the depot which faces them<br />
<br />
All players place their tile according to placement rules (and add a meteorite token if the corresponding symbol is present)<br />
<br />
All players advance the corresponding resource trackers based on the tile selected. Trackers may be advanced in whatever order the player prefers.<br />
<br />
Pass the start player marker and start a new round<br />
<br />
<br />
===Tile Placement===<br />
<br />
The first tile of the game must be placed so an edge touches a border.<br />
<br />
Additional tiles must be orthogonally adjacent to pre-existing tiles.<br />
<br />
Tiles cannot overlap other tiles and neither can they fully cover/replace each other.<br />
<br />
Tiles cannot hang over the edge of the grid.<br />
<br />
Tiles have to sit so they are aligned with the printed grid, but can be rotated or flipped prior to placement.<br />
<br />
Lifepods and Rovers CAN have tiles placed on them, but the object is then removed permanently.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Resource Tracks===<br />
<br />
Each resource tracks provides a unique benefit. You claim the benefit once your resource marker reaches an icon on the track. Two icons are shared by all tracks:<br />
<br />
.Victory Points (gold medals) - Players receive points at the end of the game for the highest victory point medal reached on each track.<br />
<br />
.Synergy Boosts (multi-color swirls) - Immediately move the resource marker up one step on any resource track.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Civ Track (black)===<br />
<br />
.Civ Milestone (dome) - Take all the Civ Cards of the depicted level, look through them, and pick one to keep.<br />
<br />
If the card states IMMEDIATE, you get these bonuses straight away, otherwise you'll get them later.<br />
<br />
If the card states END GAME, it is kept secret and revealed at end game.<br />
<br />
If more than one player reaches the same milestone in the same round, they should select them in clockwise order from the current start player.<br />
<br />
If playing with modules, there is a chance that when you reach a milestone there are no cards to claim.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Water Track (blue)===<br />
<br />
If a square of the tile with water resource is placed on planetary ice, the track advances, otherwise no advancement is made.<br />
<br />
===Biomass Track (green)===<br />
<br />
.Biomass Milestone (tree) - Gain a Biomass Patch to place immediately following normal placement rules.<br />
<br />
Biomass Patches do NOT advance the track, but do help to fill in spaces.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Rover Track (red)===<br />
<br />
.Rover Milestone (vehicle) - Place a rover token onto the tile which triggered it. It may be placed on a meteorite if desired. It does not need to be placed on the red portion of the tile.<br />
<br />
.Movement Space (number) - Move your rover(s) a combined amount equal to the space's number (so a 3 could move 1 rover 3 spaces or 2 rovers 2 and 1 spaces respectively). Rovers move orthogonally and can move on both tile spaces and empty spaces. When a Rover shares a space with either a Lifepod or Meteor, the component is collected.<br />
<br />
If something is placed onto the rover, the rover is destroyed.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Tech Track (gray)===<br />
<br />
This track unlocks permanent abilities for the rest of the game.<br />
<br />
Level 1: Adjacency placement restrictions no longer apply.<br />
<br />
Level 2: Store Biomass Patches to be placed at End Game.<br />
<br />
Level 3: +1 for Rover Movement.<br />
<br />
Level 4: Double Water advancement. Water must still be placed on ice to trigger the advancement. Double advancement only applies if triggered by tile placement.<br />
<br />
Level 5: Immune against Meteors.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Energy (tan)===<br />
<br />
There is no track for Energy, instead pick any other track to advance, with the following limitations:<br />
<br />
You may pick the other resource shared on the energy resource's tile (Remember this track still advances naturally, so in effect gets to advance twice).<br />
<br />
You may pick a resource bordering the energy terrain (tan area spanning 1 or more tile) that includes the tile just placed.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''End Game''' ===<br />
The final round is triggered when either the last tile is removed from any of the depots or a player cannot place a tile.<br />
<br />
If a tile cannot be placed, the player still chooses a tile from the depot and advances the trackers as normal, without adding the tile to their planet.<br />
<br />
After all players have advanced their trackers, any biomass patches should be placed and any end game bonuses should be activated.<br />
<br />
===Scoring===<br />
<br />
Score each row and column based on the medal number attached to it if it is complete, so all spaces have a terrain tile in them and no spaces have a Meteor token on them. Complete rows & columns are worth 1-3 points.<br />
<br />
Score the highest medal passed or reached on each track.<br />
<br />
Score 1 point per Lifepod collected and 1 point per 3 Meteor token collected. Lifepods destroyed by tile placement are not scored.<br />
<br />
Score End Game Civ cards.<br />
<br />
The player with the most points wins!<br />
<br />
If tied, the player with the least empty spaces wins!<br />
<br />
=== '''Asymmetric Planets''' ===<br />
<br />
==== Tartarus ====<br />
Be warned: Not only can a rover not cross the chasm orthogonally, it can only cross diagonally at two specific corners (the chasm is faded a little).</div>BayconFredhttps://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/index.php?title=Gamehelpbahamataxi&diff=14194Gamehelpbahamataxi2022-07-28T12:19:50Z<p>BayconFred: </p>

<div>== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
Bahama Taxi is played by 2 to 4 players, who become taxi drivers in some city. They compete to gather the highest income by carrying passengers.<br />
<br />
== Required stuff ==<br />
<br />
* the board<br />
* standard 52-card deck<br />
* distinguishable pieces (one for each player)<br />
* a paper and a pencil<br />
<br />
== Board ==<br />
<br />
[[File:BahamaBoard.png|300px]]<br />
<br />
The board depicts a scheme of road connections in a city. It consists of 52 areas, enumerated with card symbols.<br />
<br />
On each of four parts of the board there are areas for distinct card suit (♠, ♥, ♣, ♦).<br />
<br />
Congested city core, called Downtown, is reflected by areas in the middle of the board, enumerated with ranks (A, K, Q, J).<br />
<br />
Two given areas are adjacent, whenever they are connected with a line or touch each other.<br />
<br />
; Example pairs of adjacent areas:<br />
<br />
: 5♦, 2♠<br />
: Q♠, A♠<br />
: A♣, K♣<br />
<br />
; Example pairs of areas, that are not adjacent:<br />
<br />
: 3♥, 5♥<br />
: A♠, A♣<br />
<br />
''Note: BGA implementation uses 4-color playing cards and 4-color game board to enhance visibility.''<br />
<br />
== Taxi movement ==<br />
<br />
Each player controls one taxi. A taxi is represented by a piece placed on a board area. Only a single piece is allowed to occupy a given area.<br />
<br />
Players take turns. On their turn, a player must move their taxi to any unoccupied adjacent area.<br />
<br />
''Note: In BGA implementation, taxi movement is obligatory to make the game more dynamic and to prevent players from stalling the game, especially during late game phases.''<br />
<br />
== Passengers ==<br />
<br />
Citizens nature has nothing to do with hurry.<br />
Whenever one of them wants to get from area X to area Y, they take their time waiting on X for any taxi to pick them up.<br />
Then they travel until dropped off at their destination Y. Passengers give no suggestions about taxi route and leave it all to the driver.<br />
<br />
A player receive fares for getting a passenger to their final destination, proportional to the distance between areas X and Y.<br />
The distance is measured as a number of taxi movements needed to get from X to Y via the shortest route.<br />
Neither actual route nor driving time affects fares at all.<br />
<br />
Any citizen, who is trying to catch a taxi or travel as a passenger, is represented by a pair of cards, lying face up one on another.<br />
The bottom card stands for area X, while the top one for area Y.<br />
A pair of cards for citizen waiting on area X is placed by the board, on the X color side.<br />
A pair of cards for citizen being a passenger of given player taxi is placed in front of the player.<br />
A pair of cards for citizen who has been dropped off at final destination is discarded on the discard pile.<br />
<br />
''Note: In BGA implementation, meeples are placed on the lower right corner of corresponding spaces, and highlights/tooltips are added, instead of placing cards on corresponding color sides.''<br />
<br />
A taxi can carry up to 3 passengers at one time.<br />
A player can pick up a citizen with their taxi on the end of their turn, if the taxi is placed on the same area the citizen is waiting.<br />
A player can drop off a citizen on the end of their turn, if the taxi is placed on the same area the citizen is travelling to.<br />
<br />
== Ingame situation example ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Bahama_example.png]]<br />
<br />
; Comments:<br />
<br />
: Player A can move their taxi to area 6♦ and pick up the citizen waiting there as a third passenger.<br />
: Player A can move their taxi to area 9♠ and drop off one of passengers.<br />
: Player B can move their taxi to area 2♦. They can’t pick up the waiting citizen, because they are already carrying three passengers.<br />
: Player C can’t move their taxi to area 10♦, because it is occupied by another taxi.<br />
: <s>Player C can wait on area 8♠ and pick up waiting citizen as a third passenger.</s><br />
: ''As the note from Taxi Movement, Player C must move in BGA implementation, thus cannot pick up waiting citizen on 8♠.''<br />
: Player D can’t move taxi to area A♣, because it is not adjacent to area A♠.<br />

<br />
== Random element in game ==<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the game, the whole deck is shuffled and placed face down by the board, becoming the draw pile.<br />
<br />
Each player discovers the initial position for their taxi, drawing a card from draw pile. Used cards are discarded face up on the discard pile.<br />
<br />
A citizen waiting for a taxi is added by drawing a pair of cards from the draw pile and placing it properly by the board. This way 8 citizens are added initially.<br />
Whenever any citizen is picked up by a taxi, a new random citizen is added, but only if there are enough cards in the draw pile.<br />
<br />
''Note: In BGA implementation, a card is discarded in 3-player game during setup to make the number of cards in the deck even.''<br />
<br />
== Final phase of game ==<br />
<br />
Once the draw pile runs out of cards, a player is not permitted to pick up a third passenger. They can still carry three passengers if they have been picked up already.<br />
<br />
''Note: BGA implementation marks drawn cards by gray border around corresponding spaces of the game board. If all spaces are gray-bordered, the deck is exhausted.''<br />
<br />
Once there are no more than 4 citizens waiting for a taxi, a player is not permitted to pick up a second passenger. They can still carry two passengers if they have been picked up already.<br />
<br />
As soon as there are no citizens waiting for a taxi, the game is over and players’ income is compared. A player does not receive any income for passengers left in their taxi.<br />
<br />
''Note: The game also ends automatically when all players drop off all passengers while there is only a single passenger waiting a taxi.''<br />
''Since the last passenger cannot be dropped off, this game end does not change the end game result.''<br />
<br />
== Variant rules ==<br />
<br />
BGA implementation supports variant rules which are not included in original rules.<br />
<br />
'''Default options are bolded.'''<br />
<br />
=== Shift change ===<br />
<br />
* '''No''': Players start the game with an empty taxi.<br />
<br />
* Yes: Players start the game with a full taxi.<br />
<br />
=== Pickup before movement ===<br />
<br />
* '''No''': Players cannot pick up a passenger on the same space before taxi movement.<br />
<br />
* Yes: Players can pick up a passenger on the same space before taxi movement. This rule is not applied when the deck is exhausted.<br />
<br />
=== Faster movement ===<br />
<br />
* '''No''': A taxi may move only once per turn. Taxi movement is mandatory.<br />
<br />
* Fast: A taxi may move up to twice per turn. During 1st/2nd deadline all taxis gain 1/2 extra movements.<br />
<br />
* Faster: A taxi may move up to three times per turn. During 1st/2nd deadline all taxis gain 2/4 extra movements.<br />
<br />
Players may undo taxi movements up to 5 times per turn.<br />
<br />
In all variants, a taxi must move at least once and cannot return to (or stay in) its starting space.<br />
<br />
A taxi must stop movement first to pick up or drop off a passenger (unless 'Pickup before movement' variant is on). No further movement is allowed.<br />
<br />
=== 5-8 player variant ===<br />
<br />
5-8 player games use two decks of playing cards.<br />
<br />
* 'Pickup before movement' variant must be enabled first.<br />
<br />
* If a starting card identical to another player's starting card is drawn during setup, set aside the card and draw another card until a unique card is drawn, then shuffle cards set aside in the deck.<br />
<br />
* When a player has a legal space in their cab and there are two passengers at the origin point, the player can pick up 0, 1, or 2 passengers (to a maximum of 3 passengers in the taxi).<br />
<br />
* When a player has two passengers in their cab with the same exact destination spot, the player drops off both passengers simultaneously and scores both.<br />
<br />
* When a pair of identical cards are drawn while generating a passenger, the pair is discarded immediately and a new pair of cards is drawn until a passenger is generated or the draw deck is exhausted.<br />

<div>==Goal==<br />
<br />
Players take on the roles of two Hikers as they trek across different Trails during the four Seasons of a Year. Each Trail represents a different Season, and as each Season passes, the Trails change and grow steadily longer. Each turn, players send one of their Hikers down the Trail. While on the Trail, Hikers will see beautiful Sites and perform an action when they arrive. When a Hiker reaches the end of the Trail, they can spend tokens they have received to visit Parks and earn points. Your goal is to have the most points from your Parks, Photos, and Personal Bonus at the end of the Year.<br />
<br />
==Taking turns==<br />
<br />
The player with the First Hiker Marker takes the first turn of the Season. On a turn, a player selects either one of their Hikers and moves the Hiker to a Site of their choice down Trail—anywhere to the right of that Hiker’s current location. When the Hiker lands on the new Site, the player performs the Site’s action. After taking the action, the next player takes a turn. Turns continue until the Season ends. If another Hiker—even your own—is already occupying a Site, then it cannot be visited unless you use your Campfire.<br />
<br />
If you gain [RAIN] on your turn, you can place it in an empty Canteen to gain the benefit shown on the card.<br />
<br />
[WILDLIFE], like their name implies, are "wild" and can be used in place of another token (except for filling a Canteen and 1-to-1 token exchange Canteen effect).<br />
<br />
Note that you are not allowed to hold more than 12 tokens. If you gain more, you have to discard down to 12.<br />
<br />
==Basic Sites==<br />
<br />
These Sites will appear every season.<br />
<br />
* '''Forest:''' Gain [FOREST].<br />
* '''Mountain:''' Gain [MTN].<br />

<br />
Before the start of each Season, one of these Sites is added to the Trail. The fourth and final Season will have all of these Sites.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Trail End==<br />
<br />
The Trail End has three locations:<br />
<br />
# '''Reserve a Park.''' You take a face-up Park or a Park from the top of the deck. You don't pay resources or score points. You may later Visit that Park. The first player who uses this space each season takes the First Hiker Marker.<br />
# '''Buy Gear.''' The first player (or, in a game with 4 or more players, the first two players) can buy Gear for [SUN] less.<br />
# '''Visit a Park.''' Pay the cost shown on the Park to gain the indicated number of points.<br />
<br />
When you move a Hiker to the Trail End, you relight your Campfire if it is extinguished.<br />
<br />
==End of a Season==<br />
<br />
Once a player’s two Hikers reach the Trail End, they will no longer take turns for the Season. When only one Hiker is left on the Trail, the player must move the Hiker to the Trail End and choose an action there. This marks the end of the Season. At the end of a Season:<br />
<br />
* The player with the Camera may pay 1 token to take a Photo.<br />
* All Canteens are emptied, and their [RAIN] is returned to the supply.<br />
* All Hikers return to the Trailhead.<br />
<br />
After the fourth Season, the game is over. All players reveal their Year cards and score points based on their Personal Bonus. The player with the First Hiker Marker gains 1 additional point.<br />
<br />
''The player with the most points at the end is the winner!'' If tied, the win goes to the player who visited the most Parks. If still tied, the win is shared.</div>BayconFred
