Stamp Swap (STM175)
Stamp Swap brings stamp collecting to the table. Draft from a pool of face-down and face-up stamp tiles and bonus cards, then split your finds into two groups. Another player picks one group, and you keep the one they didn't choose.
Arrange your growing collection each round and score one of four goals, but choose wisely, because you can't score the same goal twice. Quality matters as much as quantity, including rare gold-foil stamps. Over three rounds you show off your collection in a series of contests.
Stamp Swap includes the Pinzetta solo mode.

Great for: Families and friends who like set collection and a clever "I cut, you choose" twist.
What a game night feels like: Everyone splits their stamps at the same time, so there's very little waiting, just a lot of agonizing over which pile your neighbor will take.
