Every set of cards

What is here

Every set on this site is the same press with different settings. There are two number games and the rest are word games, and the difference between them is not cosmetic.

The number games

The 75-ball card is the American one: five by five, a free middle square, and each column drawn from its own fifteen numbers, which is what the letters B I N G O across the top mean. The 90-ball ticket is the British one and a different object entirely: nine columns by three rows, fifteen numbers and twelve blanks, printed in strips of six that between them carry every number from 1 to 90 exactly once.

The word games

Ten lists, each of at least 30 entries, written for this site: Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, Valentine, winter, autumn, game day, bridal shower, sight words and the icebreaker prompts. Or type your own into the box on any of those pages. Nothing on any list is a brand or a named character.

Blank cards

Ruled grids and nothing else, for filling in by hand. The same thing a search for a bingo card template is after.

The one rule worth knowing before you print

The list has to be longer than the card. A five-by-five card with a free middle has 24 squares; a list of exactly 24 words puts the same 24 words on every card, so every player finishes on the same call and nobody wins. The press refuses that, and refuses a list too short to make as many different cards as you asked for, rather than handing over a stack with repeats in it.

What every set includes

A caller’s sheet at the back of the file, carrying everything that can be called, all 75 numbers, all 90, or the whole word list. Everything prints in black. Every set is offered as PDF, PNG and SVG, and every one of them is drawn by code running in the page you are reading on.
