Every month we pick one great game, pair it with snacks and a printed guide, and post the whole night to your door.
Layered, postmarked and packed by hand. One boxed game, a snack tin matched to the mood, and a folded guide that teaches the table in five minutes.
A hidden-roles drafting game for the whole table — quick to teach, impossible to stop at one round. Chosen for long autumn evenings and second helpings.
Pick your group, how heavy you like your games, and a snack style. We'll preview the kind of box we'd post next — and the monthly price.
Preview only — your real box is hand-picked each month. Prices in TL, sample · 2026.
In 2016 our flat had a shelf of board games we loved and never opened. Everyone was busy; nobody wanted to be the one who read a rulebook out loud. So we made a rule of our own: one night a month, one new game, no homework. A friend would bring it, another brought snacks, and someone drew a one-page cheat sheet.
That page turned out to matter more than the game. When the rules fit on a folded sheet and someone had already done the reading, people actually played — and stayed. We started mailing those little kits to friends in other cities who wanted the same night without the closet full of half-learned boxes.
Nine years on we still pack them by hand in Kadıköy. We play every game before it goes out, argue about the snack pairing far too long, and rewrite the guide until a first-timer can run the table. Nothing in the box is random. That is the whole idea: a good night, chosen for you, posted to your door.

A wall of what we've posted. Every crate is played, guided and snack-matched before it ships — here's a stack of recent ones.






Each crate follows the same route. Here's the postage trail, slip by slip.
We play every candidate first. Only one title per month makes the crate — chosen for the season, never for a shelf we're clearing.
A tin is built to fit the game — sweet, savory, plant-based or nut-free — with a slip listing every ingredient.
A one- or two-page sheet that teaches the table in minutes, with a house-rules panel for repeat plays.
Everything is layered into a kraft mailer in Kadıköy, sealed with our stamp and logged against your subscription.
Tracked courier to all 81 provinces. You get a dispatch note the morning your crate leaves the bench.
Not free this month? Skip it. Traveling? Pause. Want to send one? Switch any box to a gift with a written note.
Every plan includes the boxed game, matched snacks and the printed guide. Prices in TL — sample rates for 2026.

"We're two people and I always dreaded the big-group games. The box matcher steered us to a two-player line and the guide meant we were playing in four minutes flat. We've kept every crate."
only wish the tin was bigger
"Bought the annual box as a gift for my parents in Izmir. My mother now texts me the score every month. The handwritten note in the first crate genuinely made her cry."
first crate arrived a day late — worth it
"Six of us play on Fridays and we were running out of new games. Three months in, we haven't repeated a single night. The savory snack tin disappears before the second round."
a heavier title now and then, please
Yes. Every boxed game, the snack tin and the printed guide are yours to keep. The Parlor Post is a subscription for new nights, not a rental — nothing goes back.
Anytime. Skip a single month from your account before the billing date, or pause the whole subscription while you travel. Prepaid and gift plans carry a skip credit so you never lose a crate.
Set your snack style to nut-free and every tin is packed on a dedicated nut-free line, with a full ingredient slip in the box. We also offer plant-based swaps for dairy and honey.
We pack within eight days of billing and ship by tracked courier to all 81 provinces. Most crates reach İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir in one to two days, and the rest of the country within three to five.
No. The printed night-guide is the whole point — we rewrite it until a first-timer can run the table in under five minutes. You choose how heavy the games get with the box matcher, from light party games to deeper strategy.
Yes. Switch any single month to a gift with a handwritten note, or send the annual plan with a printed certificate to hand over. The recipient sets their own snack style when the first crate ships.
Tell us your table and we'll confirm your first box, snack style and dispatch date by email — no payment to start. One short note and the next crate is on its way.
No payment now — we'll confirm by email first.
