Step-By-Step:
Start by getting the Nimby 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 crayons. Crayons cost the least.
Choose one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller may also play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller starts the play by randomly pulling an item from the call list and calling out it to all players.
The players scan their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they cross off that word.
The first player to finish a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items yells "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller checks that the items marked form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for a longer game.
