When to play Holiday Travel bingo

How long Holiday Travel bingo lasts

Simulated over 150 shuffled games on cards 1-60 of this set: the median first line arrives on call 13 with 30 players and on call 16 with 10, while a blackout takes 42 calls, roughly 7 minutes at 10 seconds a call.

How to host Holiday Travel bingo

1. 1

   Print the Holiday Travel cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Detour, Bus terminal, Rental car, Carsick kid and Travel mug.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 46 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Rest stop, Audiobook, De-icing the plane, Are we there yet? and Layover; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   Give each traveler a card at departure; squares like Boarding pass and Packing list get marked early, so the game starts before boredom does.

4. 4

   Turn a delay into progress: Delayed flight, Rebooking line and Weather warning are all squares, which takes some sting out of a bad day.

5. 5

   On a road trip, the passenger with the card calls squares aloud and the driver just listens; never let the driver mark anything.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (Delayed flight in this set's order) and a blackout near call 42; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

Holiday Travel bingo variations

• Holiday Travel variation

  Two-leg bingo: mark the top half of the card on the way there and the bottom half on the way home. The first player to fill a line that crosses both halves chooses the next road-trip audiobook.

• Blackout round

  Card 1 needs all 24 squares, Detour to Boarding pass; on average one card fills after 45.1 of the 46 calls (98% of the deck).

• Quick 4x4 round

  A 4x4 card needs 16 of the 46 entries and no free space; one card is full after about 44.2 calls instead of 45.1.
