Happy Witching Week! For those of you under 65 and/or do not know what Bingo is:
Bingo is a game of chance in which each player matches the numbers printed in different arrangements on cards. The game host (a caller) draws at random, marking the selected numbers with tiles. When a player finds that the selected numbers are arranged on their card in a row, they call out "Bingo!" to alert all participants to a winning card.
We play it a little differently here with a Pokémon twist (and, this time around, a Halloween twist), but the basic principles are the same!
• When the theme is announced, participants will have 24 hours to create and post their Bingo cards, filling it with Pokémon/items from the chosen theme.
• Twice a day (at 10 AM PST and 10 PM PST), I will randomly pull 10 Pokémon/items of the category and post them here.
• Reminders of drawing time, wins, round starting/ending will be posted to the Discord bulletin as well - if you would like to be notified, you can add the role @Retirement Home for pings about the event.
• Players are responsible for keeping track of their own cards and marking off any called numbers on it, and the round will run until someone gets 5 in a row!
• A new theme will then be announced, and the game will repeat until the end of the week.
To avoid confusion, each round will be accompanied with a list of all possible draws - I am human and I do miss things, so a list of every item/move I'll be popping into the randomizer should minimize the possibility of cards having things not in the draw pool.
Here is a basic template, and you are more than welcome to use this one, but feel free to customize and put your own spin on it or make your own from scratch, as long as it follows the convention of being a 5x5 grid with a 'free' tile in the center.
I will take note of all cards posted before the round begins, and then throughout the round you can just edit your post with your updated card (marking off any called Pokémon you have on it).
It doesn't have to be fancy - though there will be extra points if it is - you can do this with any editing software, even like Paint or your phone's gallery editor, as long as the Pokémon names on your card are discernible and you have a way of marking them off.
We will just do the basic 5-in-a-row winning patterns, so any 1 row will count (horizontal, vertical, diagonal). If you have a winning pattern, make a new post saying "BINGO!" to alert me of your win.
Here are all the possible moves you can put on your Bingo card:
