Aim of the game
Players try to be the first to build a „Bingo” row
on their Bingo card (that is, 5 chips in a row).
Preparations
Decide on a game master. This person adminis-
ters the number board and the number chips. The
columns on the number board are headed with the
5 letters „B-I-N-G-O” in order to help players find
their numbers when they are drawn. The game
master shuffles the 75 number chips and places
them next to the number board, face down.
Share out the Bingo cards equally. Players deter-
mine together with how many Bingo cards they
want to play.
If there are Bingo cards left, put them back into
the box. Place the chips to cover the numbers in
the centre of the table to create a pile from which
all players take chips.
How to play
The game master draws a number chip, turns it
over and reads the number and the corresponding
letter, for example „B 12”, aloud. All players whose
Bingo card shows a 12 in column B may cover this
square with a chip from the pile. The game master
also covers this number on his board in order to
be able to control the game.
If a player’s Bingo card(s) do(es) not show the
given number, he waits until the game master
calls another number.
When all players are ready, the game master then
draws a new number. He reads the number aloud
and covers the corresponding square on the game
board with the number chip that he has drawn.
Players whose Bingo card shows this number also
cover it with a chip.
The game continues like this until a player has
built a row of 5 chips (horizontal, vertical or
diagonal) on his Bingo card. The player then calls
„Bingo”.
The game master may verify the „Bingo” by ask-
ing the player read his winning numbers aloud and
checking that all of these numbers are covered
with a chip on his number board.
Before starting play, players cover the free square
in the middle of the Bingo card with a chip so that
it is considered a covered square.
End of the game
The first player to call „Bingo” justifiably wins the
game and becomes the game master for the
following game. If several players call „Bingo” at
the same time, the winner is decided by drawing
lots.
Shuffle all Bingo cards and deal them out in order
to start a new round.
