Buffalo Games is an American company that specializes in board games and puzzles, headquartered in Buffalo, New York.

History

Buffalo Games was founded in 1986 as a family-run business. The initial product line consisted of several board games, and one puzzle, referred to as The World's Most Difficult Puzzle. The initial revenue from their product line came from their sales and marketing to bulk mail catalogs and department store gift sections. They began mass manufacturing of games and puzzles in 1996. On September 19, 2018, Private Equity firm Mason Wells, along with Nagendra Raina, Chief Executive Officer of Buffalo Games, and other members of the management team, acquired the business from the founders, Paul and Eden Dedrick. Mason Wells is a leading Midwest-based private equity firm with approximately $1.0 billion in assets under management across its current private equity funds. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Products

Buffalo Games designs and produces puzzles and puzzle accessories, as well as party-style board games. Its jigsaw puzzle line has included licensed artwork and images, including Pokémon, Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic, Avatar, Cocomelon, Marvel and Charles Wysocki.
