The game consists of two types of cards: 24 cards with whole faces (complete cards) 54 cards with partial faces (partial cards) A dealer is chosen who takes the partial cards and shuffles them. Each player including the dealer takes 3 complete cards and place them face up in front of him on the table. The dealer begins by turning the partial cards one by one and placing them face up on the table. For the first few games it is suggested to turn the cards over slowly; later the speed can be increased to create a greater challenge according to the age level of the players. When one of the players spots 3 partial cards on the table that together match one of his whole faces, he calls BINGO! and the game stops. The Player that called BINGO! gathers the 3 partial cards from the table, adds his matching complete card and places them in a stack at the side. The player takes a new complete card from the pile and the game resumes. If the player that called BINGO! was in error and the partial cards did not match his complete card, the player loses 1 point. The game is over when there are no more partial face cards or when no more matches can be made. Each match is worth 1 point. The points are tallied, remembering to subtract 1 point for each error. The winner is the player with the greatest number of points. —user summary
