When player A plays a Swap Your Hand card he or she changes his or her cards with somebody else (player B). Then player B draws a card. Should player A draw a card too?
The general rules say that
Play an action card... then draw 1 card.
, but in this case player A gets an extra card. On the other hand the rules of the Swap Your Hand card say
Discard the action card, then the other player gets to draw 1 card!
Does it mean that player A should not draw?
Player A should not draw. The player the card was played on is the one who draws.
Another way to think about it:
Before the swap turn, Player A has X cards and Player B has Y cards. Player A plays a swap on Player B. Assuming the deck has cards in it, afterward Player A should have Y cards and Player B should have X cards.
Another way to think about it:
If both players have a full complement of 6 cards, and a swap is played, both players should end up with 6 cards when the dust settles. Assuming there are cards left in the deck, of course.
