Collecting games involves acquiring various types of games, such as board games, video games, or card games, often for personal enjoyment or investment. Many collectors focus on specific genres, platforms, or eras, seeking rare or limited-edition items to enhance their collections. Collectors often participate in communities, attending conventions or online forums to share their passion and knowledge. They may also engage in trading or selling games to complete their collections. Popular platforms for video game collecting include Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox, while board game enthusiasts might seek out classics like Monopoly or Settlers of Catan.
