Amazing Bingo - The Bingo Game
he STRATEGY Game with the BINGO Premise!
The
Bingo Game Review by Ben Baldanza, Counter Magazine "Counter is a magazine for the serious Board Game
player, and though The Bingo Game is a "Game of Strategy for the
whole family" it was still reviewed and included in the magazine
which to us at The Bingo Game Group is a great honour. The Bingo Game Created and Designed by Stephen R. Kaplan Published by The Bingo Game Group 2-4 Players, 30 minutes "The first game to turn Bingo into a game of
strategy" is how the Bingo Game is pitched. Don't laugh yet, since
the designer has done a credible job of making something interesting
out of an otherwise dry and random concept. In a world where everyone
seems to be publishing their lifelong dream game, this one is better
than most comparables. The game is Bingo, of course, so each player gets
a bingo card and a decision is made about what creates a victory (five
across, a pattern, etc.). But rather than call out numbers, players
instead roll 2 custom dice and move a pawn across paths on a board.
The paths connect in various ways and each space is marked with a bingo
number. You move the dice roll to a space, and that is the number that
everyone marks off their cards. This space is then covered with a chip,
so it does not count anymore in the game and is ignored for movement
purposes. So, as the game moves along, players are trying to identify
paths that will get them the numbers they need to complete their pattern
quickly. Certain spaces allow a pawn to transport to a different area
of the board quickly, or force players to lose a turn. Of course, the
first player to complete the bingo wins. The Bingo Game is a nice take
on bingo with some great added touches, but it is clearly family fare.
