4 Angles
This can be completed rapidly. Cover all four corners to win the game.
Satellite
Required are thirteen spaces, including all nine interior squares and four corners. It would be entertaining if your parts glowed.

WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL BINGO DAY
Simple to play
No complicated restrictions apply. Essentially, anyone who can calculate can play Bingo. The 24 numerals on the cards range from 1 to 75. If the host calls out the numbers that correspond to a specific pattern on your card, you shout “Bingo!” and claim your prize.
It’s affable
Bingo often turns into a large celebration. The players rapidly make friends and enjoy the camaraderie. It’s an enjoyable and stress-free way to spend time!
No age limit
Bingo games are played by individuals of all ages and continue to be immensely popular among seniors. You do not need steel nerves or a convincing “poker face” to be successful at Bingo.
