What you get

• A free centre space, as the traditional game expects
• As many unique cards as you need, printed in one go

How many cards to print

One per player, plus three or four spares. Spares matter more than people expect: someone always arrives late, someone spills a drink on theirs, and a child will want their own rather than sharing a parent's. Printing five extra costs a sheet of paper and saves the interruption.

For a large room, print in batches and keep them in stacks of ten. Counting out cards from a stack of a hundred while forty people wait is the slowest part of an otherwise fast setup.

Running the game

Cards are only half of it - you also need numbers called. The bingo caller draws 1-75 and keeps a record of everything already called, so a disputed line can be checked against the actual history rather than someone's memory. For the 90-ball game played as Housie or Tambola, use the bingo caller for 1-90 instead; the card layout and the calling range are both different.

Agree the winning pattern before the first number goes out. A line, four corners, and a full house are all normal, and half the arguments in a casual game come from nobody saying which one counted.

If you are running the game over video rather than in a room, the virtual bingo night guide covers getting cards to everyone in advance and keeping the calling in sync.

Word and picture bingo

These are number cards. For a class party or a family game with small children, the seasonal pages print cards with words and pictures and call the words on screen: Halloween bingo, Thanksgiving bingo and Christmas bingo.

Picking prize winners

Drawing prizes too? Spin the wheel to pick the winner. Put every player on it for a door prize, or only the people who got a line, and spin once per prize.
