Meteor ReferenceError: Collection is not defined after upgrading to 1.3

After upgrading Meteor version to 1.3 from 1.2 i'm getting this error:

My file structure:

-.meteor
-client
-server
-public
-lib (collections.js here)

collections.js:

Games = new Mongo.Collection('games');

Before upgrading to 1.3 everything worked fine.

In Meteor 1.3 recommended way would be to use import instead of moving everything into global.

// collections.js
export const Games = new Mongo.Collection('games');

then

// any_other_file.js
import { Games } from '../lib/collections'

Instead of

Games = new Mongo.Collection('games');

do

global.Games = new Mongo.Collection('games');

becouse

In beta 5, globals are having issues.
