So.....now that you all have kicked the bingo wizard in his weakest moment.....and after consulting with the peanut gallery..... I'm going to try something completely outside the box.
I'm going to let the players pick their own bingo card.
Now before you print up a card with one number on it...or some crazy combination of numbers that you hope will get past all reasonable bingo rules....be aware that that bingo card must comply with regular bingo norms. It must be 5 columns across, 5 rows down with the following numbers (B, 1-15; I, 16-30; N, 31-45; G, 46-60; O, 61-75). You can randomize the numbers as you see fit. But.......you must send a dm to me of your card before the game starts so that I can confirm your bingo if you get one. Now you can use an online bingo card generator (most of us that have been the bingo wizard have already used these programs) or...if you really want...you can get out your crayons and draw up a bingo card by hand. As long as it conforms to the standard bingo format...it will be accepted as your card. Any goofy cards or joke cards will be rejected (I'm looking at you
@BarberDave ). I'll start the game as soon as I have everyone's approved cards. And I'll call more than 4 numbers per day so that we can get through the game in a reasonable time frame. I'll also throw in bonus numbers through occasional Christmas trivia.
It may not be the prettiest bingo game but it will get done. So....get your cards sent to me.
