Post-Haste

The game box contains a game board, a pack of delivery cards, scrip (of various denominations), game pieces (vans, trucks & aircraft) & cheques that may be exchanged between players. The object of the game is to be the first player to deliver all his/her mail to the destinations indicated on the hand of cards dealt to the player at the start of the game. The game board is divided into quadrants representing four postal areas (A-D). Each quadrant is further subdivided into a route map of delivery addresses (1-18) which may be traveled on throw of a dice by each players transport vehicles. Each vehicle has a different capacity for mail (vans can diver up to two of the players cards, trucks carry three). Since each card dealt to a player indicates an address printed on it (e.g. B13, A6 etc. etc.), on his/her turn, dice must be thrown and vehicles moved towards those destinations in order to deliver the mail. When this is done, the player earns a cash bonus. A delaying element is added to the game via aircraft, which can be rented to deliver unwanted cards (to a maximum of four)from a players hand to another players depot when that player may seem likely to run out of deliveries & win the game.
