Stampede

About this board game

Stampede is a 20-minute game for 2–6 players, released in 2020, about building an efficient stamp collection.

Behind its colorful art and simple symbology, Stampede offers a quick and elegant challenge. Players plan efficient moves as they fill an album with new stamps, search for the best trades at the exchange, and negotiate the right moments to swap stamps with their opponents.

Stamp collectors may seem polite on the surface, but they are cunning strategists underneath. Each part of the collection presents a different opportunity, and successful players must pay attention to the stamps available, the trades they can make, and the timing of their exchanges.

• Fill your album with new stamps.
• Search for the best trades at the exchange.
• Swap stamps with opponents at the right moment.
• Complete a collection of matching or distinct animals.

The goal is to collect five stamps of the same animal or nine distinct animals. Achieving either target lets you stamp out the competition, turning every trade and swap into a potential step toward victory.

With its accessible visual language, streamlined play time, and focus on collection building and exchanges, Stampede is designed for fast-moving sessions among 2–6 players. Plan carefully, pursue the collection you need, and use each opportunity to trade or swap to complete your album first.
