Bingo is a popular game that can be played with anyone, regardless of age or ability. The basic rules are simple: players are given a set of numbers and are required to make as many matches as possible, either in consecutive numbers or any combination thereof.
When a player makes a match, they yell out “bingo” and receive a point. The first player to score 21 points (a “bingo”) is the winner.
