From Humble Courier to Forest Legend

Like you, we struggled to find board games that balanced cozy aesthetics with satisfying strategic depth. Most cottage-core games sacrifice substance for style. Most route-builders lack emotional warmth.

Everything changed when we discovered the magic of combining spatial puzzle-solving with engine-building mechanics in a woodland setting. Watch your delivery empire grow as you unlock strategic upgrade paths, master shifting weather patterns, and create elegant delivery chains that cascade across the forest.

Now we're creating something that fills the sweet spot between Ticket to Ride's accessibility and Wingspan's strategic depth—wrapped in hand-inked woodland charm that makes every game night feel like coming home.

Imagine chaining 3+ deliveries in a single brilliant route, watching your reputation soar. Picture adapting on the fly when weather shifts dramatically. Feel the satisfaction of gentle competition that never feels mean—just you and your friends building the forest together while racing to be the best courier.

What Makes Pine & Parcel Special

Modular Forest Map

90 hex tiles create thousands of unique configurations. Every game feels fresh with different terrain challenges and route opportunities.

Dynamic Weather System

Shifting conditions each round force creative adaptation. Fog slows deliveries, wind speeds ridgeline routes, creating new strategies every game.

Contract Drafting

Pick-2-pass mechanism creates tough decisions. Build combos with Fragile, Perishable, and Oversized tags that synergize with your upgrades.

Unique Co-op Factions

Four delivery companies with distinct abilities: Hare Express for speed, Badger Freight for capacity, Finch Flyers for aerial shortcuts.

Solo & Co-op Modes

Dedicated Dusk Owl automa actively blocks routes and snipes contracts. Race the Royal Post AI in co-op mode. Never tacked-on variants.

Premium Components

Neoprene map, 300gsm linen cards, screen-printed wood tokens, metal coins. Color-blind-safe iconography with hand-inked aesthetic.

Strategic Depth, Cozy Vibes

1

Weather Reveals

Each round brings new conditions. Fog slows you down. Wind speeds ridgeline routes. Adapt or fall behind.

2

Take 2 Actions

Lay trails through terrain, deliver parcels to complete contracts, upgrade your co-op abilities, or forage for resources. Choices matter.

3

Race the Twilight

Time advances based on weather. Complete contracts before dusk falls. Every move counts in this cozy race against time.

For Fans of Wingspan Meets Ticket to Ride

01

More Strategic Than Ticket to Ride

Contract combos, co-op upgrades, and weather adaptation create meaningful decisions beyond simple route completion. Every turn offers genuine puzzle-solving.

02

More Accessible Than Wingspan

Simpler teach with intuitive "lay trails, deliver parcels" concept. Spatial puzzle meets engine-building without overwhelming card text or complex timing.

03

Cozy Aesthetics + Strategic Substance

Most cottage-core games sacrifice strategy for theme. Pine & Parcel delivers both: watercolor woodland charm with satisfying tactical depth and replayability.

04

Gentle Competition That Feels Good

Race for routes and contracts without destroying each other's work. You're all building the forest together—perfect for couples and families who want strategy without spite.

Common Questions

Q

Is this solo-friendly?

Yes! Fully supported with dedicated Dusk Owl automa designed by a solo specialist. It actively blocks your preferred routes, snipes valuable contracts, and escalates weather after your big moves. Not a tacked-on mode—it's a core experience with replayable puzzle scenarios.

Q

Will this cause analysis paralysis?

No. Turns are snappy with only 2 actions per turn. Limited options encourage planning without endless deliberation. The game keeps momentum while still providing satisfying strategic depth.

Q

Is it color-blind accessible?

Yes. All routes and resources have clear icons. High-contrast symbols throughout. Color-blind-safe palette tested with multiple testers. Accessibility was a priority from day one.

Q

When will this ship?

Estimated delivery is June 2026. Manufacturing takes 4-6 months after campaign close, then 2-3 months for ocean freight to our multi-hub distribution centers (US/EU/UK/CA/AU), followed by fulfillment beginning in Month 9.

Q

Will this be available at retail?

Standard Edition will be available at retail after fulfillment, likely at $79 MSRP. However, Deluxe and Collector's Editions are Kickstarter-exclusive and will never be available at retail or in future reprints.

Q

How much will shipping cost?

Shipping costs are calculated in the pledge manager based on your location. Our multi-hub strategy (US/EU/UK/CA/AU) minimizes international shipping costs significantly compared to single-hub fulfillment.
