Frequently asked questions
How many bingo cards can I print?
Up to 60 cards per PDF, all different within a set, with 2 or 4 cards per page. Count one card per player, plus a few spares. Each set has a number: note it down to get the same cards again later.
What is the difference between bingo and loto?
Bingo is played on a 5 × 5 grid with the numbers 1 to 75 and a free centre square. Loto is played on a grid of 3 rows and 9 columns with the numbers 1 to 90, five numbers per row. In both cases, the last page of the PDF is a tick-off draw grid.
Which score sheet templates are offered?
Four templates: generic, one column per player and one row per round; dice game, with 13 rows of combinations to name; trick-taking game, with two columns “us” and “them”; discard card games, with the round and the running total of each player. You set 2 to 8 players and 5 to 30 rounds.
Which level should I pick for the chess puzzles?
Four rating bands: 600 to 1000, 1000 to 1400, 1400 to 1800 and 1800 and more. Mate in 1 suits beginners, mate in 2 teaches calculation, mate in 3 is for experienced players. White or Black is to move depending on the puzzle, and the side to move is written under each diagram.
Can I print the solutions separately?
For the chess puzzles, yes: the solutions are grouped on the last page, which reminds you to print it separately. Bingo cards and score sheets have no solutions to hide: bingo ends with the draw grid, which the host ticks off during the game.
