Pebble Rock Delivery Service (2021)

About this game

Help Pebble, Oscar, Hamish, and Elvis on a daring high seas adventure of package delivery! Guide them through swift currents, sharks, and pirates as you race to deliver much-needed cargo to the remote islands around Pebble Rock. Choose to roll fast dice and risk attracting enemies like Pirates and sharks, or play it safe and choose to roll slow dice. Based on the delivery orders given to every player by Brock the Badger, navigate your boat to nearby islands to make deliveries and score points. As you go, you'll also need to stop by the shop islands to gain important equipment to give yourself an edge over the competition. Pebble Rock Delivery Service is an all-ages "Pickup and Delivery" game. The game has enough depth to entertain seasoned gamers, while the core mechanics are simple enough to teach to young sea-captains.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
