As part of a new partnership with Kaleida Health, Buffalo Games will provide party games and jigsaw puzzles to playrooms and parent lounges at Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo. The company will also provide jigsaw puzzles in the senior daycare center at DeGraff Memorial Hospital and party games and jigsaw puzzles in the waiting areas and recovery areas at Buffalo General Hospital. The party games will include all of the company’s five titles (Gotcha, Truth Be Told, Likewise, The T-Shirt Game, and Last Word), and the puzzles will total more than 35 in various piece counts. Kaleida Health is the largest health care provider in Western New York.

Buffalo Games has announced plans to release a new party game of rules called Gotcha! In Gotcha! players race to hit the buzzer whenever they see someone breaking a rule, while making sure they are following the rules themselves. Group rules and individual rules are displayed during the game, and the more rules that are in play, the funnier the game can get. You have to be alert and aware or you are out!

Stay tuned for more info from the company.

All proceeds from the Gifting Suite will benefit the Marine Corps Veterans Association and The Klass Kids Foundation.
