The van's outside and the queue's forming. Best get stamping. Post & Parcel puts you behind the counter of a village post office. Villagers arrive with parcels and letters, each one needing a job or three: a stamp, a turn on the scales, a bit of brown paper. Tap a station to do the job, tap the customer to hand it back, and send them off happy before their patience runs out. SEVEN JOBS TO LEARN Start with the stamp pad and the scales. The wrapping desk arrives on day two, then the airmail rack, the label printer, the customs desk and, at last, the wax seal station. Every one has its own rhythm, and the counter gets busier as you learn them. A STAMP ALBUM TO FILL Every service earns a stamp. Special parcels — a cake, this way up; a parcel of bees; grandma's jam; a letter to Santa; a very late birthday card — earn rarer ones, and once in a very long while a first-day cover turns up. Twenty-four stamps in all, three of them only in season. DAYS WITH A TWIST Every third day has something going on: Christmas Rush, Parcel Day, Postcard Season, or a slow Sunday Service. Real seasons change the counter too: letters to Santa in December, cards in the run-up to Valentine's, postcards all summer. MOVE UP THE SERVICE Reach day 30 and take a post at a bigger sorting office: Market Town, Coastal, City, Central and, one day, Head Office. Each move is a fresh start with a permanent bonus, and your album, records and stars come with you. UPGRADE THE COUNTER Coins buy a Quick Stamp, Steady Scales, a Fast Wrap, a Bigger Trolley, a Comfy Bench for the queue, a Tip Tin, and finally a Twin Counter that does two jobs at once. MADE FOR THE SOFA Every shift is a minute or so. One thumb, no swiping, no timers to babysit, no Wi-Fi needed. Records, streaks and personal bests keep score, and an optional daily reminder tells you when tomorrow's post is ready. Free to play with ads. A single £2.99 purchase removes them forever.
