Step-By-Step:
Start by getting the Retro PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
Open the PDF and print a hard copy.
For random calling, you can print another copy of the call list, cut, fold and then pick them randomly at play time.
Cut the bingo cards at the cut lines if there are more than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use pencils. Crayons cost the least.
Choose 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 starts the game by randomly pulling an item from the call list and saying it to everyone.
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 complete a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items yells "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller validates that the items marked form a proper line as per the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for an extended game.
