Tips for Parking
Taxis can point in any direction.
Stack taxis on their sides, their roofs or on top of each other, if you want.
If you rolled a color, at least two of your taxi's wheels must be in that color zone.
If your taxi is not parked properly, take it off the board and try again.
2. Wait for the Wobble...
