Bingo Bango Bongo is a fast-paced, comedic card game that is perfect for parties. The rules are simple: each player takes turns drawing cards until they either go out or the deck is exhausted.
The first player to go out loses the game. There are several variations of Bingo Bango Bongo, but the basic game is the same.
One variation of Bingo Bango Bongo is called “Snap.” In Snap, the first player to draw two cards becomes the “snap master.” The snap master can either discard two cards or play them both. If they play two cards and either one of them is a bingo, they score two points and become the new snap master.
If they play two cards and neither of them is a bingo, they swap positions with the next player in line. This continues until someone goes out or there are no more cards left in the deck.
Another variation of Bingo Bango Bongo is called “Flipper.” In Flipper, each player flips over one card from their hand at the beginning of each turn. If the card that they flip over matches one of the numbers in one of the players’ open bingo squares, then they can choose to keep that card or discard it and take another turn.
If no one flips a matching card during their turn, then that player can place their next card on any open square, and play proceeds to the next player. If any number in a player’s open squares matches one of the numbers on one of the flippers, then that player can choose to keep that card and take another turn, or discard it and take another turn with a new flipper.
The last variation of Bingo Bango Bongo is called “Flipperoo.” In Flipperoo, each player flips over two cards at the beginning of each turn.
If either card flips over a number that’s already been played on an open square by another player, then that player can choose to keep that card or discard it and take another turn with a new pair of flippers. If both cards flip over different numbers, then those numbers become “free squares” for other players to put numbers on during their turns.
