Package!?
An abstract game of parcel delivery!
Package!? is an abstract strategy game, designed with very quick play (roughly 5 minutes a game) in mind, and is played without the need for a board, or a great deal of space. Each player is responsible for depositing a number of packages to 5 different locations, as well as moving packages about between these locations and creating openings to remove opposing packages from the game.
The decision behind what’s in the packages, and what each player represents, is left to you… Maybe you are couriers taking parcels to businesses? Maybe you are spies leaving bombs in enemy facilities? Maybe you are fishermen bringing the days catch into harbour? – Lets be honest, if we told you who and what, then it wouldn’t be abstract anymore!
Package!? contains high quality wooden components (we prefer wood to plastic!) with bright and vibrant component colours. We find this enhances the experience of the game, makes it look lovely on the table top, and keeps it feeling quirky and abstract.

Gameplay Overview
So, how do you play Package!?
Good question! Package!? is a game which can seem a touch mind-boggling at first glance, but don't be scared, it's actually VERY simple, fast and furious.
Each turn a player rolls the die and takes an action based on the result. Each roll presents a range of possible options, with additional options becoming available as more 'packages' are placed or removed.
The options available to each player include moving and removing other packages, as well as relocating their player pawn to try and obtain an advantageous position for scoring. Points are scored for each package left in play at the end of the game based on its location, along with other chances to score bonus points. When the game ends, the one with the most points is declared the winner… Simple. Sort of!
