>>11123809All right, now that I looked into the article's source seems they are counted. Board games and puzzles weren't mentioned like they were in the article from 2022 where adults made up $9 billion and 1/4 of toy sales, so I figured the focus of this one was more narrow. But picrelated's from last year and lays out the "super categories". This is the more recent source the article links.
