About Us

Hello,

Let us introduce ourselves, we are Cameron, Dave and James, and we love spending time with our friends and family playing games. One night in Daylesford, Victoria, as we learned to play a new board game, an idea sparked. Nearly two years later, we formed The Collectivist, a small business specialising in the hobby and gaming experience.

At The Collectivist, we are truly captivated by the various ways in which our community finds both joy and belonging in the hobby. That might be in the form of a game's night with your squad on a Friday night, showing off those absolute FIRE pulls on stream, or in gifting the next obsession to a loved one. We represent the collectors, curators, competitors, and connected socialisers.

We are incredibly excited to announce that we have opened the doors to our first store at 225 Union Road, Ascot Vale! Bringing games, fun, and many more exciting things to Union Road. Pop in, say hi, try some games, and have some fun. We can't wait to share our passion with you in person!

The Collectivist seeks to share our love for games and hobbies with existing fans and introduce it to potential fans with a curated selection of individual board game titles, the latest trading card game releases, and unique subscriptions that help your collection grow.

This is only the beginning of our journey. We hope that you’ll join us, because there is so much more to come. Until then, believe in the heart of the cards (and The Collectivist), and we guarantee that you’ll experience some of your most cherished memories for years to come.

Cam, Dave, and James
