Stamp Swap
The art of stamp collecting is not just in accumulating many stamps, but in collecting high-quality stamps. The game has three rounds and is for 1-5 players. This is your chance to meet other attendees, put together a beautiful and well-focused stamp collection, and show it off in a series of contests. Do well and you may walk away with the top prize at this year’s Stamp Swap!
Gameplay
Draft from a public pool of face-down and face-up tiles (along with some bonus cards), then simultaneously divide them into 2 groups. You will select one group from another player and keep the group of yours that isn’t selected. Organize your growing collection each round and score 1 of 4 goals. Choose wisely, as you can’t score that goal again.
Summarised
The beauty of the “I cut, you chose” mechanism is that it directly messes with human psychology. By simultaneously giving players the agency to split while depriving them of the ability to choose. They must ponder how to make it fair while make the selection beneficial to them without alerting the other person to it.
Stamp Swap is a beautiful game with gorgeous stamp art that rival real ones. It’s fun to admire them, hold them in your hand, and find the perfect spot to place them in your collection.
