📦 Humorous Packages
The loop of the game is delivering packages. Each package has a unique story that is paired with at least one event! Package stories are based of pop culture references, current affairs and fictional characters. Deliver packages as a team and achieve a high score!
🍿 Jam-packed Events!
Each event continues the story of its package; the driver then chooses one of three possible options! (Backseat driving is allowed from the team!) Then, the narrative continues! The driver's choice can give or take away team resources, be a game or a prize!
⁉️ Insane Challenges!
Everyone on the team can complete secret challenges called D.I.Ks! The Deliverer of Incredible Kindness award! These challenges can be anything from doing the YMCA to flirting with your team! Secretly complete them without getting caught to get points!
⛔ D.I.K blocking!
If you think a teammate is doing a D.I.K, call them out! Guess the D.I.K, and if correct, you get it! If not, discard one of your own D.I.Ks!
⏱️ Simple resource management game
Each turn, the driver takes 4 time tokens and manages the packages! Each action costs time, which is placed on packages out for delivery! Be aware, though, the consequences of your actions can cause the van to take damage! Manage time, packages and the engine!
👀 Compare scores and D.I.Ks!
At the end of the game, record the team's score in the logbook! And also count up how many D.I.Ks each player finished! The winner of the prestigious D.I.K award gets their name put into the logbook!
History
History
NEXT DAY! is developed by a one-person team, Jamie (he / him)! Development started in May 2024
Initially wanting to create a narrative-based RPG, similar to Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies! Unfortunately Jamie didn't have friends that enjoyed the genre and decided to pivot to a fast-paced game with simple mechanics that are easy to learn. Playtesting in local Dublin pubs, Jamie designed and refined the game for the target audience, people who enjoy games with friends while having a couple of drinks!
The game was initially developed as part of Jamie's final-year project in Game Design at TUDublin and continued development after graduating in 2025.
Many mentors and people helped on the game, like Dylan Schouten-Adavi Q1 2025 (ex-DIGIT systems designer) and Steve Bennett Q4 2025 (Solo designer of Dungeons and Naggins)

Next Day! Is a co-op party board game where you and your friends must work together to deliver packages while simultaneously competing for the Deliverer of Incredible Kindness award (D.I.K.)!
Pick up packages, find the address, and deliver them on time! All while doing silly challenges to win the most D.I.K!
All packages have a story, and with that come unique events! These events are wacky and ridiculous, putting you and your team into situations you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy! Choose the best option for your team and hope your van doesn't blow up along the way!
As you navigate various challenges and obstacles, teamwork becomes essential to ensure timely deliveries. If your team is not careful, you might find yourself backed in a corner as the Mafia guns you down or in a high-speed chase running away from the FBI!
But if teamwork isn't your jam, that's OK. Take on as many D.I.Ks as possible (they are Challenges, by the way). Get ready to crash, flirt, sing, and fight your way to becoming the best in the delivery business.
