Devilstone Harbor Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We’re pretty money-conscious in our house. We believe that puzzling is a great hobby for those looking to get the most out of their entertainment dollar. What else can you spend hours and hours on for (usually) less than $20? All in the comfort of your own home. In your jammies no less (if desired). With your favorite music on. However you want to do it, it’s a great pastime.

This Devilstone Harbor Puzzle from Buffalo Games gave us more than our money’s worth. It took us a while to complete. The final result was fantastic to sit back and enjoy. It’s puzzles like this that keep us puzzling pretty much every day of the week!

Classic Charles Wysocki

We are always attracted to puzzles of the works from Charles Wysocki. This Devilstone Harbor Puzzle from Buffalo Games is typical of the art he did that we like to do as puzzles. Scenes of times gone by. Rural scenes, usually. Or small towns and farms. Rolling hills and lots of trees. And often, whimsical characters and stores. These are fun puzzles for us, no matter how complicated some may be. Or easy. Or small. Or large. Doesn’t matter, we love them all!

The Last Piece

This 2000 piece puzzle included a nice, large poster. The assembled puzzle is about 39″ wide and 27″ high. It just fit the puzzle board we were using. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is very good. We did have a few ‘false fits’ along the way but they weren’t frustrating at all. The colors were great and bright. The artwork is fun and whimsical.

Pete’s Gambling Hall Puzzle from Buffalo Games

After completing a few smaller piece-count puzzles lately, I can see why people like them. We usually do 1000 piece puzzles. I’ve found that the 300s are just as fun, have just as great images and provide just as much satisfaction when that last piece goes into place. This Pete’s Gambling Hall puzzle from Buffalo Games was a lot of fun. There’s a lot going on in it. Just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean it’s not great! And hey, it’s a Charles Wysocki work, and he’s definitely one of our favorites!

Old Times Good Times

We found this Pete’s Gambling Hall puzzle from Buffalo Games for sale in one of the antique malls we visit regularly. You never know what you might find. Sometimes nothing. Sometimes pricey. But sometimes, we hit the jackpot and we end up walking out of the store with a big stack of rightly-priced puzzles. Usually 1000-piece puzzles, but sometimes 300s now too. This was an older puzzle, but the quality was still great, from the cut of the pieces to the colors in the image.

The Last Piece

This puzzle did not include a poster. It didn’t need one, really. There were 300 pieces in this puzzle. The pieces were thick, and fit well. They were cut randomly, into all sorts of shapes and sizes. This puzzle was a nice challenge and enjoyable to look at. It was around 15″ high and 21″ wide when completed.

Yankee Wink Hollow Puzzle from Buffalo Games

I have to warn you. I’m going to say ‘wonderful’ a lot in this post. I’m sorry, I know I should look for other adjectives to describe the Yankee Wink Hollow puzzle from Buffalo Games. But ‘wonderful’ just suits it perfectly. The colors are wonderful. The imagery is wonderful. And yes, the pieces fit wonderfully! I promise I’m done with how ‘wonderful’ this is! This is Charles Wysocki at his best.

It’s Not All Wonderful

Ok, there were some difficult spots in the Yankee Wink Hollow puzzle from Buffalo Games. Challenges. Tests. There were several pieces that fit in several places with little hint that they were wrong. That’s ok. It doesn’t all have to be easy. That’s part of the journey.

The trees were the most difficult part in all. The many objects were a joy. This is a piece of art. When done, we both stood back and enjoyed it for a good long time.

It’s just a wonderful puzzle and one of our favorites of all time.

Moonlight and Roses Puzzle from Buffalo Games

“Whew”. We both said it at the same time as the last piece went in. This Moonlight and Roses puzzle from Buffalo Games challenged us both. From start to finish. The imagery was fantastic. The journey, though, was long. This was an older puzzle we acquired used from an antique mall for $4. We got more than our money’s worth that’s for sure!

Where Did It Go?

Our Moonlight and Roses Puzzle from Buffalo Games was missing a piece. It was a used puzzle. I can never get over how when a puzzle is missing a piece, it’s only one. Not two. Not five. But one. But it’s worse. We got down to two ‘holes’ in our puzzle. We had only one piece. And it didn’t fit into either place. We looked and looked and could not find the issue.

The solution? Flip the puzzle over. It wasn’t easy. And it was obvious which piece (it was just one!) we had wrong. Sometimes you just have to do it. Usually we just have to flip a section, but this time we had to flip the entire thing. So in the end, we had just one missing piece. We still enjoyed the puzzle.

We love puzzles of Charles Wysocki’s works. This one is a little different for us. The ones we’ve done in the past were rural scenes, of farms and towns, in an Americana style art. This was not like those, but a lot of fun!

Gull’s Nest Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Puzzles of Charles Wysocki’s art always make us happy. They’re just fun to do. And fun to look at. The Gull’s Nest puzzle from Buffalo Games is another fine example of Wysocki’s great work. There are common elements in his paintings that we find in these puzzles. Like the chimneys being the same. Or the fruits in the trees. Things like that. Always little interesting things. The scenes are always pleasant, peaceful. They’re a bit challenging and a lot of joy.

Always Fun

When we were new to puzzling we started to hear about Charles Wysocki puzzles. We had no clue who he was or what the puzzles were about. Most are like this Gull’s Nest puzzle from Buffalo Games, depicting early mid-19th century times. Horse-drawn carriages. County fairs. Those sorts of things. Now we find ourselves always keeping a puzzle or two (or more) of his artwork on hand for those times when we want a (usually) easier puzzle to complete. Easy doesn’t mean less enjoyable, not at all. They’re just stress-free fun puzzling times.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces fit fairly well and the colors were great. The original artwork is a painting that translates well to a puzzle.

Autumn Farms Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We’re both really big fans of Charles Wysocki’s works that have been turned into jigsaw puzzles. We often find ourselves making these puzzles after we’ve completed a really really tough puzzle. We need a break. We need a return to something known. Not necessarily easier, but something familiar. Comfortable. And Charles’ art is always it. Most of the puzzles we’ve done of his are similar – scenes from early rural American life. Horses. Shoppes. Colorful landscapes. And this Autumn Farms puzzle from Buffalo Games is no exception. This is classic Wysocki for us and one we truly enjoyed!

Busy. Busy. Busy.

There’s a lot going on in Autumn Farms Puzzle from Buffalo Games. I’d say even more than usual in a Wysocki puzzle. That’s not a bad thing. It’s a really fun puzzle. As I mentioned, we had just finished a huge puzzle that made us sweat. It took us a long time. This one saved us. It was fun from the first piece to the last.

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a poster. There are 1000 thick pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit very well and each is unique. The colors were good. This was a great puzzle.

Bostonians and Beans Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We have assembled quite a few puzzles of artwork from Charles Wysocki. He is definitely one of our favorite artists. His creations always make us happy. The Bostonians and Beans puzzle from Buffalo Games is another great Wysocki creation. Though, we found this one to be a bit different than our usual ones. There are more objects in this puzzle. There’s lots of stuff going on. Fun stuff.

Golden Era. Golden Colors.

There’s lots of gold hues in the Bostonians and Baked Beans puzzle from Buffalo Games. That makes assembling some of the areas a bit more challenging. Especially all of the faces and windows. This isn’t a terribly hard puzzle, but it’s not a walk in the park (or on the ice) either!

You have to make sure that you glance around at all the great things going on in this puzzle when you complete it. It’s fun!

Hearts

You can always (it seems) find hearts in Mr. Wysocki’s art. Some are obvious. Some are hidden. They are his trademark. Like Aimee Stewart, another great artist, who often ‘hides’ foxes in her puzzles. Just a little added touch that we think makes the puzzle even more enjoyable.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle did include a nice large poster. The assembled puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces fit very tightly. They are cut in very simple patterns, which did help make it a little easier to assemble. There is also a 500 piece version of this puzzle. This is a true joy to assemble and admire.

Beaver Hat Tavern Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We always come back to Charles Wysocki puzzles. No matter how bad the day, we can count on puzzles of his artwork to calm us. To make us happy again. There’s just something about them. Or maybe several things. The simplicity of the art. The softness of the colors. The scenes you can almost hear and smell. They usually harken back to simpler times, as did this Beaver Hat Tavern puzzle from Buffalo Games. This is quintessential Wysocki, and a puzzle we greatly enjoyed!

The Little Things

One thing you can count on with a puzzle of Charles Wysocki‘s art are the little things. Little touches. Objects. Things you encounter as you assemble the puzzle that make you smile. Birds. Cows. Hearts. They’re just another reason we found this Beaver Hat Tavern puzzle from Buffalo Games to be so fun!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is 30″ wide and about 24″ high. The pieces fit a little lose but we bought this puzzle used. We could tell it had been assembled a few times from the wear on the pieces and the folds in the poster (thankfully, included!). The artwork is fantastic. The puzzle was moderately challenging, with the trees being the hardest part for us.

Happy Puzzling

This ‘Twas the Twilight Before Christmas puzzle from Buffalo Games made us happy. In big part that was because we always enjoy a puzzle of Charles Wysocki’s art. Always. We find them comforting. Relaxing. And it’s always so nice to stand back and admire the final work. This one didn’t take us long to do. I think that’s in part because we were ‘hungry’ for a Wysocki puzzle. We often turn to them after completing a super-hard puzzle!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. There was a nice poster included. The pieces are fit fairly well. The image is well-done and fun to look at.

Rooster Express Puzzle from Buffalo Games

There’s always something about a Charles Wysocki puzzle. The scenes are always relaxing. Enjoyable. Peaceful. And although there are often common elements in his artwork, each is totally different. We love assembling puzzles of his paintings. The Rooster Express puzzle from Buffalo Games was another great work. Wonderful colors and a witty image made it a joy to assemble.

Much Ado Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

There are some really fun elements in this Rooster Express puzzle from Buffalo Games. The chickens in the yard. The vegetable cart. And of course, the super large rooster pulling it. It’s whimsical and fun. But not without it’s challenges. The grassy areas and dirt path were a bit challenging. As was the rooster itself. This was a fun puzzle to stand back and enjoy when it was completed.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle did not include a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 25″ wide and 22″ high. The pieces fit pretty well and the image quality on the pieces is good. We did not get a single piece wrong which is pretty rare. The colors were great and bright.
