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.

Quotes (from this video)
  • I was so excited to get some shrink wrap off of some games yes and then have to go through the part of opening up Rule books and trying to read rules and then teach rules to all these new games which that's becoming a chore for me it really is.
  • The way you deal damage is just like it was with crossfire so everybody basically has a start the deck of cards cleric screen rogues red mages blue and martial arts the fighter is black and the encounters that you have to deal damage based on color.
  • You cannot go wrong when there is a game that has an appetizer in it.
  • It wasn't anything that I couldn't overcome I understood you know just got play the colors go do the deck building it was very simple from that simple but one thing that threw me off was that event deck.
  • I am trying my best to teach it and I can just look across the table everybody's like yeah whatever and I'm like okay huh face grand bazarre.
  • It's like oh my gosh Makris gonna teach a game we're not gonna learn it he's gonna screw up the rules and there's this negativity out there and so yeah I am discounted for trying.
  • Ignasi is standing right there with an incredible shirt of first Martian where'd you get that so sweet look at those like yeah there was a gift from Erin especially for the show.
  • Basically it is a one whole period of pain and frustration and I strongly this no no don't do it don't don't go this path.
  • So everybody across the world can watch yes we did it two years ago and last year we did it we didn't do this we definitely shouldn't do this so I totally agree yes yeah cool and I'm kind of curious how difficult is it for a non polish speaking individual to attempt portal con is it going to would it be like terrible no we each year we have couple of our fans from the from the Europe flight tickets in Europe are not that expensive so coming from for a poor token from Italy or from Germany or from the Spain he's not that big a cost and for these players is a one day filled with absolutely craziness about the portal games or people playing portal games games most of our fans speak English fluently because they are gamers so of course they use BoardGameGeek of course they listen to the podcast over so they are fluent in English so there's no problems playing games and as I mentioned like for the for the people's hardcore fans of portal games from German or of France or Italy there is not a big deal to come to us so every single proton we have a couple of people from different countries.
  • No you don't say Michael's gonna do anything bad or anything like that but just like what could it be I was pleasantly surprised because he sent us these treats that I had heard people talk about before called well it looks like I said stroopwafels but they're Dutch treats so I assume they're pronounced strip strip waffle or something like that just stop just stop don't embarrass just I'm trying to be correct here okay I don't say it's stroopwafel okay fine anyway.
