I'd like to recommend Maglev Metro. Very well produced, it is a joy to move the little metal trains and pick up the robot and people meeples and put them on your train and take them to places... the map comes alive with these gorgeous acrylic pieces that make up the tracks. The pickup and delivery is mixed with action selection and tableau building, but you really feel like you're progressing in the game while not being punishing in the beginning - it's slower, but you can still do everything. Ps: Long-time fan of the channel all the way from Brazil, thanks for the videos. :)

Devir has had so many hits recently (e.g. Red Cathedral, White Castle, etc) that I guess the law of averages says sooner or later there would be one that doesn't quite do it for you. Unfortunately not helped by the structure of the rulebook as well. Thanks for the info! Hmm... now that you have me thinking about it I realize I can't really think of any great pick up and deliver games so it must not be a mechanism that really grabs my attention. There are a few games that came to mind that have some pick up and deliver in them but I wouldn't say that is the primary mechanism. The ones that came to my mind were Xia: Legends of a Drift System, Star Wars Outer Rim, Empires of the Void II, and Bus. The first 2 are more sandbox adventures where PU&D is one type of contract you can take. Empires of the Void II is really an area majority/area influence empire builder with PU&D being a small part. Of these, Bus might have the most focus on PU&D but I think of it as more of a tactical route/network optimization puzzle. But, the objective is to pick up those passengers and get them to there preferred destination. That's probably the best PU&D game I can come up with. (Leaving out the myriad of 18XX, Age of Steam, Railways of the World, etc train games).

It is probably a little light for this channel's general tastes, but I think that Firefly: the Game is a pretty good pick up and deliver game. I was also a fan of the TV show though, so that might make it more fun for me.

Try Wasteland Express Delivery Service, if you haven't already. One of the best sandbox style pick up and deliver games and the theme is similar

I loved the game, but it's true that it isn't for everyone's taste (as any other game, I suppose).
