Buffalo (card game)

Buffalo is a card game that requires players to think of people or characters who match combinations of descriptions.

It was developed by the Tiltfactor Laboratory as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project called "Transforming Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) For Women and Girls: Reworking Stereotypes & Bias.

[3] In each round, players race to make matches using cards listing noun and adjective descriptors.

[4] Initial data suggests that Buffalo reduces prejudice and encourages greater inclusiveness in players’ representations of social identity groups.

[5][6] The research study showed that thinking about stereotypical and nonstereotypical trait pairings increases social identity complexity, a psychological construct linked to tolerance of members outside one's group.
