About the game

What is Galaxy Postman?

In A.D. 2986 people are no longer inhabiting earth which was completely destroyed by climate change. Mankind was forced to look for alternative planets as settlements and eventually spread out over dozens of smaller micro-planets. The Galaxy Post was founded for the exchange of material things between the planets such as orders, letters and of course bills. And now you're taking on your first shift as a Galaxy Postman today! Make it count! Galaxy Postman is a pick up OR deliver game. In Galaxy Postman. players are going to deliver important packages, beam aliens back to the mothership, score checkpoints and receive messages from a friendly android called S.A.M. while upgrading their shuttle to better suit their needs! Every round each player selects dice from their dice pool to activate cockpit tiles on their shuttle board. The Postman will move their shuttle through an ever expanding galaxy full of dangers. Doing so they must always monitor energy and system errors to ensure that their shuttle doesn't get damaged. The player who was able to collect the most Victory Points after the Final Scoring wins the game and is named “Employee of the Month“. —description from the designer
