IDEAL | Lingo: The family word game, do you know your Lingo?| Family TV Show Board Game | For 3+ Players | Ages 10+

Product Information

The game follows the gameplay of the Lingo TV gameshow - we give you the first letter of the word and all you have to do is guess it! We used the alternative rule of then splitting into three teams with only the two highest scoring teams going into round 3 and we also played it with our own rules of having one adult as QM, the other adult on 1 team by themselves and the 2 children making up a team together. A simple strategy to bidding is to attempt to predict how the unaccounted-for trump cards (the ones one don't actually hold in one's hand) would be distributed among the remaining players, excluding the kitty, with all things being equal. It now has its own menu tab where you can draw Bingo balls by spending Bingo Tokens you have earned from playing Lingo. A team whose score dips below −500 points loses the game only if the other team is not in the negative.

If you are looking for a fun family TV show board game to play over the festive season, you can’t go wrong with LINGO. If the team fails to identify the word within five guesses, fails to make a guess within a time limit, gives a misspelt or otherwise invalid word, control is passed to the opposing team and one of the correct letters is revealed. To help you solve the puzzle, make use of Boosters and upgrade your collectable Letter Tiles so they reward more points per game, don’t let those bigger words go to waste! Every other game there’s an advert with some dimbo thinking it’s good to knock a hole in the wall of granny’s apartment or to fix the door with masking tape, or worse still…killing someone by burning them alive.

The QM then inserts an initial letter panel into the game unit at the start of the word (this is the first letter of the word that needs to be guessed).

Drawn numbers were marked off on the team's Lingo card, and surprise balls awarded the team a prize. This game runs so much power out of my phone and crashes so frequently that I'd think Lingo was a virus if I didn't know any better.Round 3: Quickfire LINGOs – each team plays a 4 and 5-letter LINGO and there is no passing over to the other team. Each Daily Word offers a fresh challenge to come back for, so you never know what word you may find! Thereafter, players take turns forming new words by taking any number of tiles from the pool and placing them adjacent to or on top of existing tiles. Three-handed uses no teams, five-handed teams rotate and each player takes a turn without a partner, six-handed can be played as either three teams of two or two teams of three. Other variations include that the deal passes to the next player (no reshuffle); or that if no one else makes a bid, the dealer is required to make a bid.

We have all enjoyed playing it, obviously changing the QM each time (usually the adults) so that everybody gets turns at playing. Not to mention the super annoying ads that literally just crash the game half the time and they happen just about every 5 seconds. Whereas in the standard game which includes partners, in the Two-handed game each player plays both the hand that is dealt to them and their partner's which is dealt to the table.

In one, the player who owns the chosen card announces that they have it, and then becomes the bidder's partner for that round. They were each assigned a 25-space "Lingo card" (similar to American bingo) with ten numbers on each card already marked (such that two were marked off on each horizontal row and two on each vertical column).
