Step-By-Step:
Start by downloading the Basement BIngo PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
Open the PDF and print it.
For random drawing, you can print another copy of the call list, cut, fold and then pull them randomly at play time.
Cut the bingo cards at the cut marks if there are more than 1 bingo cards per page.
Give one card to each player. For marking, you can use pencils. Crayons cost the least.
Pick one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller can also play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller begins the game by randomly picking an item from the call list and saying it to everyone.
The players look at their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they cross off that word.
The first player to complete a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items yells "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller checks that the items crossed off form a proper line as per the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for different patterns or a full card blackout for an extended game.
