Garden’s Glory Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We recently finished our first 1000 piece puzzle of some of Darrell Bush’s artwork. We loved Loon Lake so much that the next time we were at our grocery store we picked up a few more puzzles from Mr. Bush. Like his others, the Garden’s Glory puzzle from Buffalo Games was truly fantastic…. when it was completed. But boy, it was a challenge. Many similar colors gave us hours of enjoyable difficulty. It was all worth it. This is a great piece of art. And one that is definitely frame-worthy!

Red. Green. White.

There are quite a few red pieces in this puzzle. And green. And white. They can give you fits, too. If you’re looking for a puzzle that will give you several hours of quality puzzling time, Garden’s Glory puzzle from Buffalo Games is it. I highly recommend Darrell Bush’s art if you are looking for great lighting and colors. We’ve enjoyed them all. And we are looking forward to the other puzzles of his that we have in our (rather large) to-do pile!

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a poster. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit tightly. If you get a piece wrong you had to be careful removing it or you’d damage the pieces. The colors were very good. This was a great puzzle.

Old Town Cats Puzzle from PICKFORU

We do not frame our completed puzzles. This Old Town Cats Puzzle from PICKFORU almost changed our minds about that. This is definitely a frame-worthy puzzle. Its retro-like cats would match some of the retro-like cats found in our home. It’s a fun picture. And it was a fun puzzle to assemble too, even though it definitely had its challenges! It’s a quality puzzle with a great image that is really fun to stand back and enjoy for a while.

A Tale (Tail?) Of Letters

The pieces in this Old Town Cats Puzzle from PICKFORU have letters on the backs to assist in sorting. We used them. I admit it. Some people don’t like them. Some love them. This is going to be a fun puzzle for you no matter which way you go. There are only 6 different letters, so it’s not like you still don’t have some work ahead of you even if you do sort based on them. The letters might help but they don’t do the puzzle for you!

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a nice poster. You could actually frame the poster instead! There were 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The pieces fit tightly. Quite tightly. They are light and have a shiny, almost plastic feel to them. I’m not saying that as a bad thing, they just felt different than other puzzles. It wasn’t easy to have ‘false fits’, so you could pretty much rest easy that when a piece went in, it went in to the right spot. This puzzle was a nice challenge and enjoyable to look at. It was around 24″ high and 24″ wide when completed.

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.

Camping Adventure Puzzle from Dowdle

One thing we can always count on from a Dowdle puzzle is a challenge for us. The colors throughout are similar, making it a bit more difficult to know where a piece goes. That’s ok. We’re not in a hurry. And we certainly always enjoy the final result. Although all of the Dowdle works are similar in style, the locations are always different. This Camping Adventure puzzle was full of whimsical items and people, and was another true joy to assemble!

Go Small. Or Big.

We usually do 1000-piece Dowdle puzzles. Or any puzzle for that matter. But we picked up this 300-piece Camping Adventure puzzle used. I wasn’t going to pass it up no matter how many pieces it had. I will say, a 300-piece Dowdle is quite a bit easier than a 1000! Easier. But not easy! This was still a great, enjoyable challenge! Now, I must go get more Dowdle puzzles!

The Last Piece

This 300 piece puzzle included a nice poster. The assembled puzzle is about 21″ high and 15″ high. The pieces fit very well and the colors were nice. We had very few ‘false fit’ pieces. Everything went and fit where it should. The images are fun. This was a tough puzzle in places, making it well worth the price!

Oh, and it was full of fun things!

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.

Black Cat Puzzle from Eurographics

This Black Cat puzzle from Eurographics was not an easy one. We think that made the final result twice as special. This is a frame-worthy puzzle for sure, but it does remind us of the time it took to assemble.

You can see how the black and yellow areas would be challenging. Zoom on in on the picture and you’ll find crazily-cut pieces. Frustration was high as we struggled to get those parts of the Black Cat puzzle from Eurographics finished. It often was a case of ‘try this’ and ‘try that’. But we made it! And wow, what a great picture this was!

This is an older puzzle. I could not find the exact one available new online, but I did find a similar one that is also 1000 pieces.

This puzzle did not include a poster. It would’ve helped if it did! There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The pieces were thick, and fit well. They are cut randomly, into all sorts of shapes and sizes. This puzzle was a great challenge that took us hours to complete.

Loon Lake Puzzle from Buffalo Games

The Loon Lake Lodge puzzle from Buffalo Games was our first experience making a puzzle of Darrell Bush’s artwork. We both agreed that we needed to do more puzzles of his. So much so that the next day at the grocery store we bought two more! We were instantly attracted to the images on the box covers.

True Art

The colors and lighting in this puzzle were fantastic. It’s a tranquil scene and a very enjoyable work of art. We have definitely become big Darrell Bush fans! We sometimes run across puzzles that we wish we could hang on the wall, if only we had room, and this is definitely one of them.

Our Loon Lake Lodge Puzzle from Buffalo Games came to us used. Or rather, I guess it found us in an antique mall! It’s fun searching out puzzles in antique malls, used book stores and flea markets. We’ve had great luck with them and rarely have one that is missing any pieces.

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a poster. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit fairly well (ours was a used puzzle). The colors were very good. This was a pretty challenging puzzle in spots, but the final image is truly amazing.

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.

The Boba Tarot Micro Puzzle from Games Hub

Oh my what fun! This The Boba Tarot Micro Puzzle from Games Hub was our first super-small puzzle. I bought it because it was whimsical. It came in a tube, like a test tube from my high school chemistry class. I found it in a Five Below store, along with a bunch of other fun puzzles. Like the name suggests, this puzzle is small. In both size and piece count. But it’s not lacking in fun. Just like its bigger cousins, assembling this puzzle was an enjoyable (and challenging) exercise.

Be Nice

Even though the pieces in this The Boba Tarot Micro Puzzle from Games Hub are pretty thick, and made with quality, we found ourselves being even more gentle with them than usual. I think part of that was that this wasn’t some easy walk-in-the-park puzzle. We found it difficult in spots. We found ourselves ‘trying’ pieces. It wasn’t frustrating, but it gave us our money’s worth for sure!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 150 pieces. The final puzzle is about 6″ high and 4″ wide. No poster was included (you really don’t need one). The pieces fit tight. It definitely has some tough spots despite not having that many pieces. We found this puzzle to be a great introduction for us into the work of micro puzzles. We can’t wait to do more!

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!
