How do I play bingo?
Bingo is one of those games where the rules are actually incredibly simple, and can provide hours of fun and plenty of laughs. Honestly, this might just become you and your friends' new favourite game.
If you're late to the party, here's how it works:
Each player starts with their own bingo card, which is printed with a series of numbered grids. The bingo caller, the person leading the game, then draws numbers from a tombola or uses an automated number generator, and using their "mark" (a special kind of pen), the player must stamp that number if it appears on their card.
The first player to complete a line, or get a full house, wins. That's when you get to shout "bingo!"
There are all kinds of different variations and advanced versions of bingo, but those are the fundamentals of the game. The caller will make it clear before you begin whether you should be seeking a line, a house, or a special patter.
