Post Office is a board game released in 2023 for 2–4 players, 30–45 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Evgeny Petrov and its main mechanics are Tile Placement, End Game Bonuses, and Square Grid.
Post Office is a game in which you will arrange packages on your Shelves pads in order to complete challenges. By placing your packages of the same type next to each other and taping them up in certain ways, you will create combinations of symbols to score Victory Points. The more efficient you are the more Victory Points you get. Earn the most Victory Points to become employee of the month! Move your assistant along the shelves — it will point to the column or row where to place a package. Place a package onto an empty slot of the shelf. Packages make up a shape of the same color? Tape them up! Now they won't get lost. In this game you will also find colorful detailed illustrations by Natalya Kondratyuk, the author behind the comic “Post” and the winner of “Kommissia”. —description from the publisher
Post Office supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Post Office is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Post Office for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Post Office has a complexity rating of 1.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
