Friendsgiving bingo cards
For the dinner where nobody owns a gravy boat. The squares are things that happen at a real Friendsgiving, so the game plays itself.
About these friendsgiving bingo cards
Friendsgiving bingo is a watch-and-mark game: nobody calls words. Each guest gets a card at the door and marks a square when it happens during the night. The first full row wins, and the stories behind each square are half the fun.
Edit the list to add your group's inside jokes. A line like "Sam brings the same dip" will get the biggest laugh of the night.

Ways to play
Hand cards out at the door
Put a card and a pen at each place setting. People start scanning for squares before the food even arrives.
Proof required
To claim a square, a player has to call it out when it happens. Disputed squares go to a group vote.
Prize: first pick of leftovers
The winner fills a container before anyone else. It is the only prize anyone at a Friendsgiving actually wants.
Questions
How is Friendsgiving bingo different from regular bingo?
There is no caller. Squares are events that happen during dinner, and guests mark them as they see them. It works best with 6 or more people.
Can I add our own jokes?
Yes. Type them into the word box, one per line. Any phrase up to a few words fits on the card.
Is it suitable for kids?
Most squares are fine, but it is written for adults. For a family table, try the Thanksgiving bingo cards instead.
