Package!?

Description

The perfect abstract Package!

Package!? is an abstract strategy game, designed with very quick play in mind, roughly 5 minutes a game. It’s a pocket game needing no board or even a great deal of space to play.

Players are responsible for depositing packages to 5 different locations. As well as moving packages between these locations, players create openings to remove opposing packages from the game. Each turn the current player rolls the die and takes one of the available actions dependant on the number rolled. They must take the current location of the player, and the number of opposing packages at surrounding locations into account.

Players score points for each package left in play at the end of the game, depending on its location.

When all the packages are placed, the one with the most points is declared the winner, Simple. Sort of!

Deciding what’s in the packages and what the players represent is up to you. Maybe you are couriers taking parcels to businesses? Perhaps you are spies leaving bombs in enemy facilities? Maybe you are fishermen bringing the day’s catch into harbour? Let’s be honest, if we told you who and what, then it wouldn’t be abstract anymore.
