Pigeon Post is a delivery strategy game where horses carry the mail and pigeons bring replies home.

While brainstorming ideas for the theme "Old Tech", I realized that pigeon post is also a form of old technology. After all, people used to build entire communication networks around carrier pigeons to deliver messages. Nowadays, we have the internet for that, of course. But what if we went back a few centuries?

As it turns out, pigeons have an amazing ability to find their way home, making them surprisingly good at delivering messages quickly. But there's a catch: a pigeon can only fly home. It doesn't know any other addresses! And that's where the idea for this game came from.

You're given a network of houses and roads, and your goal is to find the most efficient delivery routes. You'll need to plan carefully, figure out how to make the best use of your pigeons, and deliver all the letters on time!

Learn the basics in the tutorial, then put your planning skills to work across the levels. - Horses travel along roads. Choose a horse, select its movement option, then click a building directly connected to its current location. - Manage cargo at buildings. Horses can carry letters and pigeons. Letters are delivered when you unload them at the correct destination. - Pigeons fly home. They carry letters up to their cargo limit and can only be sent to their home building. - Prepare for replies. Some recipients write back after a waiting period. Hover over their timer to see the reply’s destination and how much time you’ll have to deliver it. - Check names and colours. Building names use matching colours to help you identify destinations. - Watch the deadlines. A late letter can cost you the level. - Finish every delivery. Complete all scheduled letters and replies to pass the level.
