Saddle up for a showdown of skill and luck with "Passing the Buck" – a thrilling Western-themed puzzle game from c.1976, created by Austin Project Marketing Ltd. This unique and highly engaging game puts a wild twist on classic jigsaw puzzles, combining strategic swapping with the excitement of the Old West.

Inside the box, you'll find four 40-piece jigsaw puzzles, each capturing the vibrant action of a rodeo cowboy taming a bucking bronco. Each puzzle features bold, colourful artwork that brings the spirit of the American West alive, from swirling dust to flaring nostrils and flying hats. Made from thin, quality cardboard, the puzzle pieces are shared and scrambled among players, who then engage in fast-paced swapping to complete their own hidden masterpiece.

To add suspense and secrecy, each player's puzzle is assembled behind a fold-up Western building façade, complete with a delightfully themed name: Devil's Creek Corral, Redwood Valley Ranch, Bar "H" Corral, and Circle "O" Ranch. Because all puzzles are hidden from view, no one knows who’s ahead until the final piece snaps into place – making for a dramatic and surprising finish every time.

Also included is the "Fascinating Facts on the History of the Rodeo" booklet – an educational bonus that offers intriguing insights into real rodeo legends and traditions, grounding the game in authentic cowboy lore.

All game components are complete, clean, and in very good condition, making this an ideal collector’s item or family game night favourite. The original box remains in remarkably good shape, with minimal surface wear and retaining its vibrant (and very orange!) colouring, a testament to its 1970s roots.

Whether you're a vintage game enthusiast, a Western aficionado, or just looking for something fun and different, "Passing the Buck" delivers a rootin’-tootin’ good time for 2–4 players. Don’t miss your chance to own this rare and charming piece of puzzle history!
