Buffalo Games Review and Giveaway!!

Games are a great way to blow off some steam and have some laughs!  My husband and I love to have our friends over for some games and drinks!  I was recently introduced to Buffalo Games!  They offer games and puzzles for anyone 14 and older!  Here is a little about Buffalo Games:

Buffalo Games was started in 1986 with the idea of bringing new kinds of games and puzzles to families, friends, and people across America.  Our first runaway bestseller, the double sided Worlds’ Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzle, virtually defined the specialty jigsaw puzzle and helped establish us as a market leader and innovative pioneer.

We began our own manufacturing operation in 1996, and launched a line of traditional jigsaw puzzles soon thereafter – pairing superior domestic craftsmanship with the best artists and licenses in the world.  Some of the best examples are puzzles featuring Photomosaics, Norman Rockwell, Dennis Lewan, Coca-Cola, Art Poulin, Audubon, and the Hautman Brothers.  Catering to all family puzzling needs, we cut puzzles in 300, 500, 750, 1000 and 2000 piece counts.

In 1998, we introduced our first board game in a long time, the wildly successful iMAgiNiff.  Entering its 12^th year, iMAgiNiff has sold nearly 2 million units and is a bit of a cultural phenomenon.  Other successful family and party games in our line include Last Word, T-Shirt Game, RUIN and Likewise, all of which follow our guiding principle that games should be easy to learn and fun to play, making those family get-togethers, parties and game nights that much more fun and rewarding.

Fast Forward to 2007, and you’ll find Buffalo Games operating from an 87,000 square foot facility in Buffalo, New York (ah…so that’s where the name comes from), employing more than 80 full-time people and having a blast creating products that are a lot of fun for you.  Our new and distinctive offerings this year include four new jigsaw puzzle series, numerous line refreshers, and our new, laugh-out-loud, pretend-to-know-your friends party game, Truth Be Told!

Buffalo Games products appeal to a wide variety of people and will create hours of enjoyment for gatherings of both friends and family.  On the puzzle side, we continue to expand our array of licenses with tremendously popular properties like Peanuts, Norman Rockwell, Coca-Cola, etc.  Through it all, we are guided by our mission – to make life more fun and rewarding.  Fun is what we are all about, from our product line to our work environment to our consumer and business relationships.  At the same time, we are passionate about making life rewarding, by crafting puzzles and games with superior play value and unparalleled quality. We strive to have everything we do meet both ideals, knowing that you, in the end, will be the judge. So sit back, explore the site, check out our products and have fun with Buffalo Games.

I got to try out 2 games! Truth Be Told and Last Word! 

Truth Be Told 

Truth Be Told is the revealing new laugh-out-loud, pretend to know your friends party game!  Each round, one of the players in the Host, and plays a question card such as, “Truth Be Told, my favorite snack is _________.”  The Host writes a truthful answer – pork rinds.  All other players pretend to be the Host, and write bluff answers –which seems like something the Host wrote -  pretzels, prunes, sardines.  The Host collects and reads all answers aloud, and players try to guess the True Answer to score points.  Bluff answers score points too – so there are a lot of ways to win, and a lot of hooting, snickering and giggling along the way! 


I liked this game a lot! It can be played with 3-8 players.  Truth Be Told had us all laughing and helps to get to know each other even better!  

Last Word

Last Word: be the first player to advance to the Finish by creatively connecting Subjects and Letters, while racing a Random-Interval Timer and the other Players!  For example, Subject: "Vegetables"... Letter: "C".  Players yell out... Carrots!Cucumbers! Corn! Cauliflower! 'tick-tick' ... The player with the Last Word before the timer sounds advances. 

This was my favorite game.  This can be played with 2-8 people and its even easy to adapt for younger kids.  You can pull out appropriate cards for little ones, like vegetables, or something that only women wear.  This can make it educational!
