Over three rounds, you’ll participate in a series of swaps to acquire rare specimens, diverse themes, and valuable \"Forever\" stamps. This edition focuses on the \"Divide and Swap\" phase: one player splits a group of stamps into two piles, and the other player chooses which pile they want. This creates a tense psychological battle—do you make the piles even, or do you hide a high-value stamp in a smaller pile to bait your opponent?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the clever drafting, this version features a \"Contest\" phase where your collection is judged against others in several categories, such as the best \"Birds\" set or the most diverse \"International\" grouping. The game's modular goal cards ensure that every session requires a different strategy to win the top ribbons. With its soothing aesthetic and deeply satisfying tile-laying puzzles, it’s a masterclass in risk-reward decision-making that proves even the smallest stamp can tell a massive story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Specs at a Glance:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAge Range: 10+ Years\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Stonemaier Games\u003cbr\u003ePlay Time: 20-60 Minutes\u003cbr\u003ePlayer Count: 1-5 Players\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: Medium (Drafting, Tile Placement, Set Collection)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e160 Unique Stamp Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e5 Player Album Boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e1 Central Scoring Board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e24 Contest Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e15 Specialist Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e1 Embroidered Stamp Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e1 Rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e1 Custom Scorepad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gnome Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52515194863903,"sku":"STM 175","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9080\/5791\/files\/stamp-swap-game-box-display.webp?v=1778081141","url":"https:\/\/gnomegames.com\/products\/stamp-swap-the-art-of-stamp-collecting-is-not-just-in-accumulating-many-stamps-but-in-collecting-high-quality-stamps","provider":"Gnome Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
