Description
This kids' bingo game set brings the fun of a proper bingo hall to the kitchen table, with a turning metal ball cage at its heart. Wind the red handle and the red numbered balls tumble round inside the wire drum, ready to be drawn and called. Each ball then sits in its place on the white master board, which carries every number from 1 to 75 in neat rows, so the caller can check a win at a glance. Players follow along on printed bingo cards, covering their numbers with little red counters kept in a small drawstring bag. Made from card, metal and plastic, the set has a cheerful retro look and a vintage-style box.
Bingo is a game the whole household can join in with, and the box is marked for up to eighteen players, so it suits a big family get-together as well as a quiet evening in. Younger players love turning the handle and calling out the numbers, while older ones keep track on the master board. It works well on a dining table or in a playroom, and it packs neatly for a weekend away with relatives. Because everyone plays at once, nobody waits long for a turn, which makes it a handy standby for a rainy afternoon when screens need a rest.
The set measures 20.5cm wide, 20.5cm long and 22cm high and weighs 0.86KG, so it tucks into a cupboard or onto a shelf between games. The ball cage sits on its own wire stand, which keeps it steady on the table while the handle turns. Wipe the metal and plastic parts with a soft dry cloth, keep the card pieces away from damp, and count the balls and counters back into the box after each game so none go astray. We think it makes a warm present for a family who love playing together.
