If you have more than 10 players you can break them up into small groups and play in groups of 2-3 players. Mix up the cards and start a new game after a few lines have been won. We recommend playing mostly for lines because of this. There are 30 calling cards to choose from so a full card may result in having a few people winning at the same time depending on the number of players. You can keep playing afterwards for more lines if you have more prizes to give out. The first person to get a line says “Bingo!”. You can play for a line (5 in a row) or a full card.When calling out the images – you can describe the image or show the picture.When the image is called out, the player puts a marker on that image.If you have more than 10 players you can put kids into small groups to play together.
