European Capitals bingo at a glance

How long European Capitals bingo lasts

150 shuffled call orders, played on the first 60 cards of this set; allow a little longer per call, since players have to work out each answer. With 30 players the first line comes after a median 12 calls (about 2 minutes at one call every 10 seconds); the first blackout needs 37.

How to host European Capitals bingo

1. 1

   Print the European Capitals cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with London, Rome, Valletta, Sofia and Amsterdam.

2. 2

   Call the clue, not the square

   The caller sheet lists all 41 answers in shuffled order, opening with Podgorica, Valletta, Reykjavik, Vienna and Brussels. For each one, read out the country (say “Austria” and players look for Vienna), then tick it.

3. 3

   Call the country, not the city, and give players a few seconds: hearing Slovenia and finding “Ljubljana” is much harder than spotting a name read aloud.

4. 4

   Pair the capitals that are easy to mix up, like “Bratislava” and “Budapest” or “Riga”, “Tallinn” and “Vilnius”, and point to each on the map as you call it.

5. 5

   For language learners, call each capital in its local spelling first and the English one second, so Praha leads to “Prague” and Wien leads to “Vienna”.

6. 6

   Check the answers on the winning line

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 12 (Minsk in this set's order). Ask the winner to say the clue for each square, which doubles as a quick review.

European Capitals bingo variations

• European Capitals variation

  Play the Train Route game: players may only mark a capital if a straight line on the map from the last called city would not cross the sea, so “Dublin” after “Berlin” has to wait.

• Blackout round

  Card 1 needs all 24 answers, London to Sarajevo; on average one card fills after 40.3 of the 41 calls (98% of the deck).

• Quick 4x4 round

  A 4x4 card needs 16 of the 41 answers and no free space; one card is full after about 39.5 calls instead of 40.3.
