It sounds like everyone needs to make their bingo cards to be like an I Spy quilt with all the squares being fussy cut to make each block so there's NO confusion on what each person is looking for. Sorry a few bad apples had to spoil the good time for everyone else!

We played fabric bingo at our retreat this weekend and they had the fabric cards and used pictures of the fabrics on the bingo "ball" and we could see the fabrics. It was fun in our group. Each gane we each bet 5 2-1/2 strips and the winner won them all. It was fun. We used buttons to mark the fabrics. This way no doubt which fabric was being called. Pictures were great idea.

heres what we did, each player had only one card with the names being drawn...they had to use a sticky tag on each block with their interpretation of the fabric. yellow flower, red dot, blue strip etc. Then there was no way they could change it. Worked...they make cute charity quilts when your done with them.

I started to join a guild....as a provisional member.It took just 3 mos to see it wasn't anything I wanted to belong to.It'd take a book to explain,but favoring some members/ignoring others was one example.I'm way past the age of acting like a naughty 5yr old,but it's their guild.It's not just guilds either.We've seen some funny going ons at diff orgs.JMO

Our prizes weren't particularly valuable. Most had an inexpensive pattern in them, a fat quarter, and a couple of pieces of candy. But the value wasn't the point. It's just no fun to play a game like Bingo and lose all the time while the same people keep winning all the time. The woman who came to our table to "teach us how to play" said that it was okay to cheat at this game, but for the "big money" then no. I wasn't sure what the difference was. In my book, cheating is cheating regardless of the price of the prize.
