Card Bingo

Our neighbors invited us to go to "Card Bingo" with them tonight. It's played with a deck of cards instead of BINGO cards. There are 4 people on a team. You deal the deck so each person gets 13 cards. You then lay them out in front of you in suits. Instead of calling B6 like in regular BINGO the caller might call 2 of clubs. If you have that card you put it in a discard pile. When all your cards are gone you yell BINGO. There were 132 people playing tonight and each person brought 6 dimes, 6 quarters and 1 dollar. We played 13 games and sometimes the prize was dimes and sometimes quarters and the final game the winning team got the $132.00. The winning teams split the money between the 4 team members. Our team won a quarter game, so we came home with $16.50. Big winners!!!
