Bingo anyone?

Hi cruisers,

We played Bingo on our cruise and there were a few games that we have never heard of. We know the usual, four corners, postage stamp & black out, but now we can't remember the ones that were new to us. We are leaving for a Bus tour to Reno with 34 of our friends and family. We always play Bingo on the trip down and would like to add new Bingo games. Can anyone help me here?

Thank you in advance. We leave early Friday morning. (4/30)

the thing is, we are the ones that set up the games for our guests on the bus trip to Reno. We were hoping to find someone who could give us some new games besides the old ones, like Black out, postage stamp, picture frame, ect. Maybe I am asking for the impossible but it is worth a try. We should have written the ones we played on the cruise so we wouldnt forget, but didn't.

There's "Lucky 7's". No free space--the first one to get 7 numbers on his card wins.

The "Celebrity X" You can tell where I've been [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

The "Cross" All the "N's" and all the numbers going across the free space line.

we played the usuals last week... straight line, x's, postage stamp and one that Ive never played before... The stinkiest card game... the way it was played was everyone stood up.. everytime she called a # if you had it you had to sit down.. when she got down to the last person who didnt have any of the #s she called.. they were the winner!! It was kinda fun cause it was a little different.. She probably called out about 25-30 #s before she finally got down to 1 person who still hadnt had any of the #s called.. I was surprised.. but it wasnt me [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Waterbound, Thanks for the "stinkiest card game". That could be a lot of fun to play on the bus to Reno, especially since we are having a few drinks on the way!! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]

So, did you surprise your boyfriend with the cruise on 4/15? How was it? What a great gift!!

Thanks again, jannyb

Keep 'em coming!

Another fun game is B O, just using the b's and the o's, then who ever has it will stand up and shout, "I have B O."

Have you tried 6 pack, any 6 combination of numbers including the free space, going either horizontially or vertically.

Belle,

Two new ones, Yipee!! The BO game will be funny!

Keep them coming!

Thanks, jannyb

JannyB - I had hoped there would be a website that would have every version under the sun, but I haven't found it yet - lots of sites to lose money on the web PLAYING Bingo though.

I did find these versions:
The letter T - Fill in the top row and the middle column
The letter I - Fill in the top and bottom rows and the middle column.
The Letter N - the first and last columns and the diagonal from top left to bottom right.
The letter Z - the top and bottom rows and the diagonal from top right to bottom left.

If I find the perfect bingo site, I'll let you know.

I FOUND A WEBSITE!!!!
It lists 33 patterns, including the traditional ones, and some of the others already discussed on this thread. And it suggests that some games can be played with these configurations rotated
[url="http://www.ildado.com/bingo_patterns.html"]http://www.ildado.com/bingo_patterns.html[/url]

In the upper right-hand portion of this page, there is a list of links; if you click on Glossary, there are some terms that describes even more ways to play using wild cards, such as Texas Blackout.

You should be able to find enough games to get you through even the worst traffic jam from the airport.

I Love the board too - I know that if I need ANY info, I'll find it here.

mconthehighseas,

Wow that is a great site. Thank you so much for taking the time to find it. That was very nice of you. We will use it for sure this weekend.

Have a wonderful day!!

another one is what I call "squashed frog" but I can't find an example on any sites for you to see, so here is a sample:
B I N G O
X X X
X X X X X
X X X
X X X X X
X X
you daub where the x's are and don't where there are blank spaces

oooppps!
well, i just saw my post and that didn't come out right at all! i'll try again....
B I N G O
X O X O X
X X X X X
O X X X O
X X X X X
X O O O X

don't daub the o's, only the x's.
let's see if this one works...

yep, that one worked. can you see the "squashed frog"?

Dory,
Thanks for the 'squished frog' Bingo game. I think I see it, but I am sure it is more visable on a real Bingo card.

We have several Bingo games now, thanks to all of you good people out there.

If you have booked a cruise- have a wonderful time. If you are like me and just dreaming about the next one, happy dreams until the reality of your next cruise!!

Hi everyone. I wanted to let you all know that all the Bingo games you gave me were a hit on our Reno bus trip. We played all the way to Reno. Thanks so much for helping out.
Happy cruising, jannyb
