Description
Mint Delivery is a mint tin-sized, pick-up-and-deliver board game designed to be quick-to-play and easy-to-learn.
In the game, players take the role of a mint delivery truck driver, driving around the area taking orders for mints, then delivering them. Each player has two actions on their turn, such as moving, loading their truck, and upgrading the mints they are carrying.
Once enough orders have been fulfilled, the game ends. Whoever has fulfilled the highest value of orders will be deemed the employee of the month and win.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action economy — Each turn provides two actions; players may perform the same action twice.
- Drafting / hand management — Draw and hold order cards; you may pick up new orders and manage them in your hand.
- endgame conditions — Game ends when two cities’ order cards run out or all four order draw piles are exhausted.
- Movement — Move the delivery van one map space per move action.
- Optional skills — Complete a matching number of orders to gain non-exclusive skills, tracked with tokens.
- Order Fulfillment — Spend the required mints to fulfill an order at its destination; this is a free action that scores points.
- Resource conversion — Factories convert basic white mints into colored mints (three whites to red, two whites to green).
- Restocking — Restock mints from supply; central factory supports up to four, other factories up to two at a time.
- Terrain tokens — Optional terrain tokens (traffic jams, toll booths, tunnels) can be deployed to alter the map.
