Out for Delivery

A postal round with no customer complaints, which is how you know it is fiction.

You are the new Carrier at the Post Office on the Penpoint Islands, and the mail needs delivering. Out for Delivery, by pewterbee, is a solo journaling game about doing the round: meeting the neighbours, exploring the islands and picking up the local stories along the way. This printing is a 40-page perfect-bound zine with six separate maps.

Each day you draw a hand from a standard deck of playing cards to find out what is in the bag and who it is going to, then journal the deliveries. It is gentle and unhurried, closer to a walk than a quest, and the islands fill in as you go: one parcel, one doorstep and one overly chatty resident at a time.

Please note: you will need a standard deck of playing cards and something to write in. A six-sided die is optional.

Perfect for: Anyone who has ever envied the postie's life, at least on the sunny days.
