About this game
Build postal routes across Bavaria and surrounding regions by drafting city cards and extending your route each turn. Connecting cities within colored regions earns you post offices, while longer routes score bonus tiles. The card drafting creates a race for key connection cities, and the Spiel des Jahres 2006 winner remains a model of accessible design. Simple rules, genuine strategic depth, and the satisfaction of efficiently connecting a network make this a quietly brilliant route-building euro.
