A hardway bingo game is a variation of bingo that is played with a harder card stock. The cards are printed on both sides and are divided into two columns. The first column has the numbers 1-20 and the second column has the letters A-J. Bingo players line up the card in their hand next to the number on the board, then mark off the corresponding number on their sheet.
Once all of the players have finished marking off numbers, the bingo caller reads out all of the numbers in the first column and asks players to mark off any corresponding letters in the second column. If a player gets a number in either column, they can add that number to their current score for that game. If no one gets a letter, then that player loses a point for their team. Players continue playing until one team has won all of their games or everyone has lost.
