The Letter Carrier Game (2008)

"People play letter carriers and maneuver through situations that aid and hinder them in making all deliveries safely and efficiently." The object of the game is to optimize the delivery path and be the first to finish. The board is made up of sixteen two-sided square tiles, featuring neighborhoods named after U.S. municipalities. The game comes with 292 more pieces, including dice, hand-painted pawns, and "chance" cards, which feature obstacles (such as an angry dog), incidents (falling ice), transportation (bicycle), and helps (helmet). Players can accumulate cards to help or sabotage an opponent. The designer worked with his father, a retired letter carrier, to make the game as true-to-life as possible.
