Bingo is a popular game that involves a board with 64 numbered slots and a set of 26 Bingo cards. Players remove one card at a time from the deck and try to match the number on the slot with the number on their card.
When a player has matched all of the numbers on their card, they can declare themselves “Bingo” and start collecting points. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
There are several variations of Bingo, but the most common is called American Bingo. In American Bingo, players are given a set number of cards, and they must match all of the numbers on their cards. European Bingo is similar to American Bingo, but players are given two sets of cards – one set with numbers 1-19 and one set with numbers 20-38.
Japanese Bingo is similar to European Bingo, but players are given three sets of cards – one set with numbers 1-10, one set with numbers 11-20, and one set with numbers 21-30. Russian Bingo is similar to Japanese Bingo, but players are given four sets of cards – one set with numbers 1-9, one set with numbers 10-19, one set with numbers 20-29, and one set with numbers 30-38.
While there are many variations of Bingo, the basic game is pretty much the same across all variations. The only difference is how many sets of cards each player receives and which number ranges they cover.
