Every unit contains a game board for 3 games and a reusable envelope for all your snail mail send-offs.

Each games is a unique play-by-mail game designed to help friends, family members, pen pals, and more stay connected through gameplay by mail. The Ultimate Postal Challenge comes with 3 games - Atomic Abyss, Bandit Block, and Sea Skirmish.
Each game set includes a reusable mailing envelope, a 3 multi-game board, and instructions. It has everything 2 players need to play head-to-head battles through snail mail. Just add your personal touch and stamps!
One player packs up the game board of their choice along with game pieces and instructions into a mailing envelope. They add both players' addresses, affix a stamp, and mail it out to start. The receiving player makes move(s) on the game board according to the rules and mails the game back. Players take turns sending the traveling game kit to each other through the postal service until all games are completed.
Our games look simple, but are quite strategic. Unlike Tic-Tac-Toe, these simple looking games have an unlimited number of potential outcomes and can become quite complex as you learn how to play.
Games in the Ultimate Challenge are designed to be completed in 14-16 moves (or 7-8 moves per player). The beginner version is slightly shorter, and the EXTREME version slightly longer.
