In the Swap Phase, players simultaneously split the items (stamps, attendee cards, and the first-player token) in their Daily Collections into a few piles.

1. CUT: Players simultaneously split up their Daily Collections as follows:

a. Reserve one item by placing it in the Reserve area on your player mat. You may not reserve rare stamps, even if they are face down.

b. Split the remaining items into 2 piles above your player mat, with each pile having at least one item. Face-down stamps remain face down.

2. CHOOSE: Once all players have finished creating their piles, the player with the firstplayer token takes the first turn. On a player’s turn:

a. The player chooses one of the piles from above an opponent’s player mat and places it below their own.

b. That opponent now places all items in their remaining other pile below their player mat and proceeds to choose a pile (step a). After choosing, they reveal their face-down stamps.

If you have already taken a Choose turn and another player selects one of your piles, the player to your right takes the next turn instead (and so on counterclockwise until you reach a player who hasn’t taken a Choose turn).

If a player is remaining with no one else’s pile to take, they move both of their piles below their player mat, and any of their specialist cards that depend on piles being taken are not activated.

Once every pile has been moved below player mats, the Swap Phase ends. Advance the phase token one space to the right.
