🐸 HOW TO PLAY
The charm of philately
In Stamp Swap, players take on the role of collectors intent on building the most prestigious stamp collection. Each round becomes a small auction of skill, intuition, and a pinch of luck, with the goal of displaying a balanced and valuable collection.
Draw and divide tiles
Each turn, you draw stamps from a common supply, consisting of face-up and face-down tiles, as well as some bonus cards. Then each player divides their selection into two groups: a choice that will determine both what you can keep and what you can offer to others.
The mutual choice
The other players select one of the two groups you've prepared, while you keep the other. This mechanic creates a constant balance: offering enticing combinations without giving away too much becomes part of the challenge.
Unique scoring goals
Each round, players must choose one of four available objectives to score points: collections by color, symbol variety, rarity, or precious golden versions. Once you use an objective, you can't use it again, so timing is crucial.
Three rounds for the perfect collection
After three rounds, the points earned from completed collections and objectives are tallied. Whoever manages to combine rarity, balance, and timing will be crowned the best Stamp Swap collector.

Collect, trade, and build your dream gallery: the stamp fair is open.
Stamp Swap – Where Every Stamp Tells a Story… and Can Win You
You're in the grand hall of the annual stamp show . Tables piled high with stamps, expert collectors with magnifying glasses, eyes trained on rare, gold, and unique stamps. And you? You only have three rounds to prove you're the fair's best collector.
In Stamp Swap , every turn is a close encounter with the beauty of detail: you must observe, choose, split, bluff and surprise.
You can get anything... but only if you know what to offer others. And once you've acquired your stamps, you'll need to arrange them in your album with precision and strategy to complete the most coveted collections and beat other players to the punch.
A small world to be built piece by piece: art, logic, and healthy competition.
Stamp Swap is a family-friendly, strategic board game for 1-5 players , designed by Paul Salomon and published by Stonemaier Games. The stamp collecting theme comes to life through refined open-draft , “I cut, you choose” mechanics, and tile placement , all complemented by delicate and elegant graphics.
Each player, turn after turn, must look at a selection of stamps (some visible, some hidden), divide them into two groups , and offer the others a choice. The group that isn't selected will return to you, but only if you've correctly read your opponents' intentions.
Organize your board with the collected tiles to achieve one of the four available objectives , being careful not to repeat yourself: each goal can only be achieved once!
A perfect blend of intuition, timing, and visual planning , also suitable for solo play, with short but never boring games. Ideal for those seeking elegant, accessible board games that still offer strategic depth .
We played it, and now we all feel a little philatelic 🐸
Total surprise. Stamp Swap is one of those games that doesn't shout... but conquers. It captivated us with its clean graphics , its essential yet intelligent rules , and a choice system that forces you to think like your opponents.
The core of the game—divide to gain—is simple, but the tension builds with each turn. Do you want to offer little to keep the best? Or do you have to take risks to avoid losing that damned golden stamp?
We loved the solitaire mode, perfect for honing your visual planning skills. But even with 3 or 4 players, the game flows beautifully: you study, you bluff, you learn to observe better.
A refined title , perfect for those who love quiet challenges, where every choice matters and every move has style . Short in duration, big in satisfaction.
