-No abusive or inappropriate language.  Even if heckled, leave the confrontation to our volunteers who will try to educate or remove the source of conflict.

Game Directions:

Starting location (Station A): On The Downtown mall if front of the Omni Hotel and Ice Park.  You must register and purchase a $5 Bingo card.  There are Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Cards. You will have 6  opportunities to complete a move, including wild cards (which will allow for your favorite move)!  If you draw a move that is on your card and execute the move, the location volunteer will stamp your card.  If you cannon execute the move, that is considered one of your turns and you must redraw.  There are several wild card moves that can override moves on the card.  Continue in that fashion until you have had 6 at each location.
