    Really fun family game.

    Tonights family game was courtesy of @thisisbutterly @familyrated. Our family was chosen to play and review The great American road race. When I brought out the pieces and instructions I was a bit overwhelmed by all the rules but we got to playing and reading the rules as we went and it was very easy to grasp. Our family really got into picking up and delivering parcels and letters and trying to outwit each other. It states 10+ but my 6 year old got it right away. We loved all the thought involved, how to maneuver the landscape and to come out as mail carrier of the century. Big bonus points for including a fun stamper to mark off all the points you get on the route 📬💌 #gotitfree #familyratedclub #familyfun #gamenight

    Fun Family Game!

    My family has just finished playing this game, and we all had a lot of fun! I #gotitfree from @SpinMaster #FamilyRatedClub for my family to try out, and it’s a hit! My brother works for the postal service so it was extra neat for us; the game was challenging enough for the kids to be interested, but it took us less than an hour to play which is perfect. They got a real kick out of the town names as well, which apparently are all real places lol. We’ll definitely be playing this again :)

    Good idea, too complicated

    I was really excited to try out this board game with my family! Two of us played and I was immediately overwhelmed with all the instructions. I was excited to play though because there were so many interactive features like the postal stamp and packages to deliver. However, playing was very difficult and I found it confusing. It also took over an hour to play (which is okay but on the box it says 45 mins). I don't know if I would play this again as it was very confusing and there were many rules. We ended up ignoring most of them because it just was too complicated! I loved the idea, I love the packaging, but when it came to playing the game, unfortunately I was disappointed.

    Fantastic family game

    Oh my goodness, personally I have to say this is my favourite free product from @thisisbutterly and @spinmaster . I absolutely love strategy board games and have played many of them. This is a mix between ticket to ride and now boarding for those who have played those games. It’s so much fun, with a mix of planning your own route to deliver the mail and sabotaging your friends routes. It is also very visually appealing with a large play mat and cute little trucks, and mailboxes. I can see myself taking this game out all the time. Another fun component is using the mail stamp when you complete your route. Not yet rated on Boardgamegeek.com but I would give it a solid 8/10 amazing and fun game.
