Okay, so today let’s talk about our favorite game to pass time!
Tambola, also known as Indian Housie or bingo, is a fascinating game, easy to play which was developed back in the 1500s. It has always been a popular game in social gatherings, societal events, kitty parties, birthday parties, corporate evenings. Housie entirely depends on the level of competition. It has preoccupied conventional games such as Ludo, cards, etc. It’s a game that is used for recreational purposes, mental stimulation, and social connections.
HOW TO PLAY?
Tambola is played with the help of tickets. Each player will get one ticket. It is played while the numbers are called out from 1-90 randomly. The ticket contains 27 boxes, patterned in the form of nine columns and three rows. Each row has five numbers. The numbers in the columns may vary from ticket to ticket. If a number is called out by the organizer & is available in the player’s ticket, then the person has to cancel the specific number. A person has to claim immediately when he/she reaches the winning point.
WINNING PATTERNS:
These are some of the basic winning patterns in the tambola. There could be many winning patterns but organizers modify them according to the comfort, time limit, and
a number of participants.
