Ultimate PAC-MAN Board Game
The Buffalo Games 563 is a tabletop adaptation of the classic arcade title for two to four players aged eight and up. Each participant controls a PAC-MAN figure to collect PAC-DOTS and fruit while avoiding Ghosts and rival players. The officially licensed set measures 10 inches by 10 inches by .1 inches and includes multicolour components for family game nights.
Competitive maze play under repeated sessions
Gameplay centres on quick decision-making as players race through the maze, activate power-up cards for extra movement or Ghost-eating ability, and strategically move BLINKY, PINKY, INKY, and CLYDE to block opponents. The mix of racing, resource collection, and direct interaction creates variable sessions where lead changes are frequent and no single strategy dominates across multiple plays.
Simple setup with pieces to track
The box opens to a flat board, four PAC-MAN movers, Ghost figures, tokens, and a deck of power-up cards that shuffle in seconds. The main friction point is managing the 1UP tokens and Ghost states during fast turns; younger players may need reminders on when Ghosts flip to blue mode. All components fit back into the 10-inch square box without inserts.

Questions about this item
Does the 10-inch board create any noise or heat when left set up all day?
The game is a passive tabletop board with no electronic components, so it produces no noise or heat regardless of how long it remains set up.
What extra items must I already own for the 563 model to be playable?
Everything needed is inside the box — board, PAC-MAN movers, Ghost figures, PAC-DOT tokens, fruit tokens, power-up cards and dice — so no additional purchases are required.
Can I mix this 10-inch board with older PAC-MAN board game pieces I already have?
The 563 model uses its own unique board layout, Ghost figures and power-up cards; older edition pieces are not designed to fit the maze or rules of this version.
