Swap

Swap is a puzzle game built around a wonderfully simple idea: rearrange things until the board behaves itself. Released in 1992, it challenges the player with increasingly tricky arrangements where planning several moves ahead becomes essential. The rules are easy to grasp, but that familiar puzzle-game trick quickly reveals itself: simplicity at the beginning does not guarantee simplicity later. Each successful move feels satisfying because the solution generally requires more thought than brute force. The minimalist presentation keeps attention firmly on the puzzle rather than drowning it in unnecessary decoration. Swap belongs to the grand tradition of games that look harmless when first loaded and then quietly consume an entire evening. It is the sort of title where you confidently say, “one more attempt,” only to notice much later that dinner has become tomorrow's problem. Simple rules, stubborn puzzles, and plenty of room for accidental obsession.
