Stanley Gibbons: The World’s First Philatelic Board Game

In 1972 Stanley Gibbons launched the worlds first stamp-collecting based board game called “Collect“. The aim of the game was to ‘swap’ and ‘deal’ rare stamps in order to build the best collection.

Stanley Gibbons has always been a front runner when it comes to raising the profile of stamp collecting to a younger audience. These innovations have led to a ‘What Toy’ award, a BTHA ‘Lion Mark’ and even a Guinness World Record!
