Midnight Mail is a competitive game where each player aims to win by scoring more points than the rest. On each turn, you’ll play a card from your hand and place a new tile on your personal board, along with the corresponding animal tokens.

If you manage to align two animals of the same type in a straight line with no obstacles, one of them will deliver a message to the other, earning you victory points. You can also score additional points by chaining multiple messages in the same turn, covering longer distances, or sending messages across higher terrain.

The game also includes an advanced variant. Additionally, you’ll find a separate spellbook that contains the rules for the solo mode.
