Each player builds a postal network. To this end, players attempt to cleverly establish postal routes by building as many Branches (houses) in the Cities on the board as possible and to gain valuable Coach Cards and Bonus Tiles. Postal Officers stand ready to assist the players in their endeavors. The game ends when one player either obtains the Coach 7 card or has built all of his or her Branches. When either condition is met, the round is played through to the end, and the game is over. The player with the most victory points wins.
