How to play
Each player creates a gameboard using 6 array cards. Set aside the remaining array cards.
Place the descriptor cards in a pile, face down.
Turn over a descriptor card. If a player has the matching array card on their gameboard, they may turn the array card over.
If both players have the matching array card, they can both turn over their matching cards.
If neither player has the matching array card, turn over the next product card in the pile.
The winner is the first player to turn over all their cards and say ‘bingo!’
Other ways to play
Swap how the piles of cards are used in the game.
Make a gameboard from the descriptor cards and turn over the array cards.
Extend the number range by adding in the expansion pack and/or replacing the product cards with 2 x 9-sided dice
