This is a rare game to find and should not be confused with Collect produced in the early 1970s by Stanley Gibbons. The two games have very different game play and contents. The detail and quality of the colour stamp cards make the game very realistic.
The game board has 60 squares where you acquire or lose stamps. There is a stamp shop, exchange club, exhibition hall, insurance Co. and a central auction room plus four strong rooms.
The 170 fine replicas of actual stamps are printed in colour on card from 40 different countries.

The game can last for up to 2 hours. There is an option for a two player game.
