Read the full game description

Post Office is a colorful family puzzle about sorting an impossible mountain of parcels. Each round, players draft package tiles, move an animal assistant around the edge of their shelf, and place a package in the row or column the assistant indicates. Matching colors can be covered with tape pieces of specific shapes, turning careful spatial planning into multipliers, stamps, and end-game bonuses. Everyone acts at the same time, so the game keeps moving while each player solves a personal grid under the pressure of limited placement options and shared drafting decisions.
