Parcel Rules

Phones and computers

Parcel Rules is a sorting game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

Drop each parcel into the bin the rulebook names, reading from the top: the first rule that fits wins. Every shift adds a new rule on top that overrides older ones, so parcels keep changing bins. Three strikes end the run and ten shifts win it, while calm mode has no strikes.

Tips

Finishing a shift hands one strike back, so a run that enters a new shift on two strikes is not as close to ending as it looks.
Two in five parcels fit the newest rule, which is the card that glows, so checking the top card first saves time on most parcels.
At most six cards stay in the book; when a seventh is due, the oldest non-colour card is torn off and its parcels fall to older rules.

How does the belt speed up?

A shift is 20 parcels. In shift 1 a parcel takes 10 seconds to ride the belt and they arrive every 1.6 seconds; by shift 10 the ride is 5.5 seconds and they arrive every 1.2. Calm mode holds the pace of shift 4 all the way through and has no strikes.

What is a strike in Parcel Rules?

A parcel dropped in the wrong bin, or one that rides off the end of the belt, is a strike. Three strikes end the run. After a mistake the card that decided the parcel shakes and the right bin lights up, so you can see which rule you misread. No strikes are given while the tutorial shows.
