A survey of the literature on accumulation games is provided. In an accumulation game a hider places objects at locations (discrete) or distributes material over a region (continuous) and a seeker examines those locations. If the seeker discovers an object he confiscates it. The goal of the hider is to accumulate a certain number of objects before a given time and the goal of the seeker is to prevent this.
