Beschreibung
Postcards from Canada is a children's/family game about collecting stamps of Canadian animals to complete postcards.
The game comprises six dry erase postcards, 150 stamps and 54 attribute cards. These cards have attributes that are used to collect stamps and manage destinations. The dry erase postcards have spaces to collect five stamps and two boxes to write and manage their destination.
Also available: Postcards from America.
GOAL:
Complete your postcard by collecting five stamps and all the letters in your destination.
SETUP:
Each player gets a postcard on which they write a destination. The destination must have at least five unique letters. For example PARIS or CHICAGO, but not TORONTO. Each player also gets at least five stamps, more with longer destination words.
Using the destination, players randomly draw stamps equal to the number of unique letters in their destination.
GAME PLAY:
Game play is simultaneous with a player drawing the next attribute card. All players act upon the attribute revealed to either mark a letter from their destination or add a stamp to their postcard.
To collect a stamp, the animal must match the attribute. For example, the attribute "fins" matches a salmon, a turtle, a manatee and a dolphin.
To collect a letter, the destination's word must have that letter. All matching letters are recorded in the collection box. For example, with "SEATTLE" (with five unique letters), a match with "E" will collect two E's.
WINNING:
To win, a player must collect five stamps and all the letters in their destination.
STRATEGY:
The destination a player selects may have advantages or disadvantages compared to the destinations of other players.
For example, a longer destination gives a the player more stamps to use, but also may take longer to complete their postcard. Effective selection of the destination is key to winning.
