Like almost everyone in the world, my preferred method of transport as a mail carrier would be with a dog sled pulled by a team of highly-trained, snazzily-dressed capybaras. (Of course, they would need chin straps so their sharp little postal caps did not tumble off during the trip.) However, I think the methods for transport chosen in this game are, as Rodney would say, "suitable replacements". ;) Love you guys! Keep up the good work! :) :) :)

2 player. If you find yourself filling the "stamping pad" before all transport cards are used (thus ending the game), make the game more challenging by removing the "bicycle card (2 moves max per round)." Being able to keep your bicycle card all game is too powerful. Hope this helps!

@AzgarthX Жыл бұрын

I saw that about the bicycle and also watched Tom Vasel's review and understand that this game doesn't scale as well when comparing 2 and 4 player counts. Stealing is quite harsh at 4 players and at 2 it seems there is barely any stealing. I saw a fix mentioning you can only steal from a player carrying 2 packages which can help balance 3 and 4 player games. I actually thought of another rule to add to that where you can only steal if you have no packages to begin with.

@BobLee-df4zh 5 ай бұрын

The designer posted a list on BGG of cards to remove for 2 and 3 player games to help with the scaling and balance.

A good question! Unfortunately, I'm not certain of the answer there, "my" interpretation is that Boring to Chugwater is 1 trail, and Big Bottom, Big Sag and Nibley are a set of interconnected trails (so you could trail from any one of those to any one of the other 3 in that group - but not to Boring and Chugwater).

Played last night with 2 players. We filled out all the Letters, Parcels and Post-Card spots and we just barely got to the level 3 transport cards, didn't see anything about taking out transport cards for 2 players. Do we take another delivery slip if everything is filled out? Or any extra points for delivering more letters and parcels? Feels really easy for both players to completely fill out the delivery slip if only playing with 2 people. Thanks for your help!

What’s the difference between the Motor Bike and the Hot Air Balloon? Flying over 1 space along roads seems the same as moving 2 spaces along roads.

@aaroncrandall3281 2 жыл бұрын

I don't think you would be able to "assist" another player or pick up a post card if you fly over the space (Hot Air Balloon) but would be able to if you moved along it (Motor Bike).

@shao-weihuang3977 2 жыл бұрын

That's the exact question I was thinking about too! Watching Rodney's video, the two differences I can think of are (1) players cannot "assist" others players to deliver packages and that (2) they will also not be able to pick up postcards on the path. So I assume it is perhaps reasonable for us to say that hot air ballon is a "weaker" version of motor bike?

@WatchItPlayed 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Paul, wanted to double check to make sure I had the right answer before answering: "Because the Hot Air Balloon flies over 1 space you can’t ‘assist’ or pick up a postcard. Also there are no motorbikes in level 1 cards but there are a couple of air balloons, so it has the advantage of travelling further, but dis-advantage of jumping over a space."

I have a couple questions. At 6:29 you discuss moving when another player occupies a space. If my move would end on an occupied space would I just be forced to choose a different path?

The theme and mechanism look so cool, and this really looks like a great family game! Thank you so much for another awesome video! Just one question here after watching the video. At 15:11, do you earn 6 or just 4 with the fragile parcels bonus at the end of the game? Based on how you tally the points, I feel players should just gain the bonus points corresponding to the number of times that they've done the action in the game. For example, because you visited three regions in the game, you gained 5, instead of 8 (1+2+5). So based on the same logic, you should gain just 4 for delivering the fragile parcels twice, instead of 6 (2+4), correct?

@WatchItPlayed 2 жыл бұрын

The fragile parcels is handled differently. That's why it has the +2 and +4 on its stamp locations, unlike the other scoring sections you mentioned. Hope that helps!

At 0:53, it's my undestanding that the Delivery card piles should be face up. They place them face up in the Big Potato Games how to play video and they're shown face up in the rulebook. It allows you to see what's coming up next and plan accordingly.

@WatchItPlayed Жыл бұрын

Hi Ryan, I reached out to the publisher about this, but haven't heard back yet. Part of the confusion is that the rules say "Turn over a Delivery Card from each of the four regions and place them on the board along with the corresponding Mailbox on top of each card." The turn over part, implies they start face down (despite what the image shows). Was this an error in the art or an error in the text. I'm trying to find out, as that might even have led to an error in the BPG how to play video. I'll let you know if I hear something back.

There seems to be no difference between the motor bike and hot air balloon. Both are 2 spaces over roads. Did they have some other idea in mind? In practice they're the same card with different pictures.

I'm not sure exactly what they had in mind either.

They move the same amount but you can’t get fragile points if you deliver by air

Maybe you don't collect post cards if you move over a space with the air balloon?
