About Holiday Lights bingo
A card for decorating with lights and for the classic evening drive to see them. It names bulb and strand types like C9 bulbs, Net lights, Rope lights and Warm white, setup squares like Gutter clips, the Outdoor outlet and the Spare fuse, and show-stopper displays: a Lit tunnel, Synced to music light shows and the Brightest house on the street.
On a 5x5 card with a free center, Holiday Lights bingo shows 24 of the 46 entries, so each one lands on about 52% of the cards: in a set of 30, String lights or LED bulbs appears on roughly 16 cards. Card 1 leaves out 22 of them, including String lights, Icicle lights and Projector lights, so no single card can mark everything.
The caller reads the 46 entries from a shuffled caller sheet and players mark them; the first complete line (row, column or diagonal) wins.
