===London Cabbie===
A [[board game]] in which players drive [[taxicab]]s through the streets of [[London]] to collect [[fare]]s. It was designed by David Drakes and first published by Intellect Games in 1971.<ref>{{citation |journal=[[Games & Puzzles]] |title=Cabbie |page=16 |date=December 1973 |number=20 |publisher=Punch Publications Ltd |quote=Inventor: David Drakes}}</ref><ref name=bgg>{{citation| url=http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/1581 | title=London Cabbie Game | publisher=BoardGameGeek LLC}}</ref> The board shows a map of the major streets of central London.<ref>{{citation |journal=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=21 December 1975 |title= Christmas gift ideas for travelers, Dec. 21, 1975 |quote=The game board is an actual map of the city (the snippet available in the free preview of the article.) |author=Horace Sutton}}</ref>

There are no dice. Up to six players take turns moving first one, then up to two, of the player's own taxis. Cab colours are green, yellow, blue, black, brown, red. Each player may move a taxi 20 spaces per turn. A draw of a passenger card determines where the fare is to be picked up. The board shows a map of central London which shows the one-way roads and simulates traffic jams. A draw of a card determines the destination of the passenger. The fare is listed on a chart on the game board itself; cabbie is also entitled to pick up a tip card when the trip is completed. Tips range from generous to zippo.<ref>From the board game itself and its instruction manual published by Intellect(UK) Ltd., 1971:</ref> The strategy is to decide which fares would be most lucrative and most efficient.{{Original research inline|date=July 2011}}

The game is on display at the [[Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising]].<ref>{{Cite book|journal=[[Time Out (company)|Time Out]] |title=London board games |chapter=Taxi! and London Cabbie |author=Peter Watts}}</ref>
