	The AGPI is an international organization for collectors and researchers who share a common interest in the history and preservation of games and puzzles of all sorts. Games and puzzles, from the earliest times to the current day, offer an exceptional view into national and world cultures and their evolution over time. Many AGPI members write articles and books about games and puzzles, participate in exhibits and shows, and continually share their knowledge and enthusiasm for games and puzzles of all kinds. Whatever your interest in games and puzzle collecting, joining the AGPI will enhance your knowledge and enjoyment. AGPI members range from novice collectors to some of the world’s foremost experts on games and puzzles and their history. Members may not be individual collectors at all, but many represent museums, game manufacturers, publishers, and research institutions. In July 2026, the annual AGPI Convention will be held in Minnesota and we are encouraging participation by local game players, designers, collectors and publishers. Contact Nadine Sehnert at 2026agpiconvention@gamesandpuzzles.org for additional details.
