About

The Association for Games & Puzzles International is the world’s foremost organization dedicated to the collection and preservation of games, mechanical puzzles, and jigsaw puzzles. The AGPI (formerly AGPC) is chartered to conduct research and explore the history of games and puzzles from ancient times up to the present, and to disseminate this information to the broadest audience possible, including the general public, the media, libraries, museums, and scholars.

Since its founding in 1985, the AGPI has grown from a core of American collectors concentrating mostly on games made in the United States to an international group of enthusiasts collecting games and puzzles from around the world. Members of the organization have produced thousands of pages of material on games and puzzles, and have served collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
