Today, I unboxed a new addition to our family gathering fun: a bingo set. I carefully opened the packaging and found a large, round cage designed to mix the balls, a set of 90 numbered balls, and 18 bingo cards with foldable numbers.
The setup process was fairly simple:
- Assembling the Cage: There is nothing to assemble except to unfold the spinning handle. The cage itself felt a bit flimsy, but it was functional.
-
Loading the Balls: Next, I placed all 90 numbered balls into the cage. Watching the balls tumble around as I turned the handle brought back memories of Genting Highlands.
-
Preparing the Cards: Lastly, I separated one of the 9×3 bingo cards. Each card had 3 rows and 9 columns, with 5 numbers in each row and 4 blank spaces.

With everything set up, it was time to put the bingo set to the test. I spun the cage, and one by one, the numbered balls dropped out. Here’s how the game worked:
- Calling the Numbers: Announce the numbers as they appear.
-
Marking the Cards: Players mark their cards by folding the numbers, aiming to be the first to complete one of the winning patterns: a single line, two lines, or a full house.
-
Verification and Victory: When someone shouts “Bingo!”, verify their card to ensure the correct numbers were marked.
Overall, the experience was fun. The cards, while functional, didn’t seem very durable. The foldable numbers might not last long with repeated use, so we’ll likely improvise with small chips for marking in the future.
The ball dropping out of the cage often bounced away from where it should have landed.
Despite this, the set served its purpose well, bringing our family together for a session of laughter and friendly competition.
Whether you’re planning a family gathering or just looking for a new game to enjoy, this bingo set could be a great addition. Just be prepared to make a few tweaks to ensure it lasts through many games!
Enjoy your games and happy bingo-ing!๐
