Morphology
The compound is a straightforward noun–noun composition where the head 'equipment' is specified by the modifier 'game', so its meaning 'equipment needed to play a particular game' is directly derivable from the known constituents. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English noun phrase logic, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Game equipment comes from joining game, meaning the activity of play, and equipment, meaning the tools you use. Picture a box of balls, boards, cards or controllers — these are the 'things you need to play', so the phrase means 'the tools or items needed to play a particular game'.
