In the Wild West, you and rival gangs compete fiercely over gold. For that, you play Texas Bingo, a poker-meets-Bingo game.
On each turn, the top card of the deck is revealed. Every player finds the matching tile and places it into any empty space on their Bingo board. Once a tile has been placed, it cannot be moved. This is all done very discreetly, as you don’t want your rivals to know which tile you’ve already used. If an Event Card is revealed, its effect happens immediately.
After everyone has placed their tile, the next card is revealed and the process continues. Once all spaces on every board are filled, players reveal their board and BGA settles the score. Hold on… nope, BGA calculates your score, don’t worry, no one is settling any score… No cowboy business here…
The game lasts 25 turns, and the goal is to build the strongest possible Texas Hold’em-style poker hands across the Bingo board. Each board contains 12 lines: five horizontal lines, five vertical lines, and two diagonal lines. The player with the strongest poker hand on that line scores one point.
There you have it, a bingo following Texas Hold’em rules. Add a layer of missions giving you an additional objective during the gameto spice things up and you have Texas Bingo.
The basic idea is therefore very simple: place revealed card on your board, arrange them to produce strong poker hands. Add your Mission Card bonus, and the highest score wins.
