What’s fun is, people often get so engrossed in the story, that they forget to listen for the numbers. So alert players, who have that number need to cross it out on their tickets. IN THE 16TH CENTURY, IN INDIA THERE LIVED A 47 YEAR OLD WIDOWED MOTHER WITH HER 20 YEAR OLD SON.Īs you can see, the numb ers 16, 47, 20 and so on would be called out, in the course of the story. This is where, the numbers board is useful to check if the number has been called out or not. The game progresses as usual, with people calling out when they have completed a line or house or any of the prizes decided. All the numbers from 1 to 90 have been used in the story, so Clarity needs to cross them out on the numbers board, as they’re called out.

Let’s call this person Clarity!Ĭlarity, starts reading out the story & crosses the numbers as she comes across them. Next, a moderator who has a loud and clear voice is chosen to read out the story for the players. The game starts with tickets being handed to the players & the prizes being explained (lines, houses, columns, four corners etc). The game play is very similar to a normal Tambola/ Housie.

Story for the Housie (You can choose between 3 of our stories here).The game moderator calls out the numbers, and like Bingo, you have to cross them out to win prizes. You have 1 or more tickets with 15 numbers on each ticket. They’re basically, Indian adaptations of Bingo. Interested?īefore I get into the details of our housie variation idea, I would like to clarify what housie is for readers who haven’t played it.

Where you really need pay attention, if you’re going to win. Today, we want to talk about a Housie game variation idea for party, that outdoes all other housie variations. For example, we play a game of Tambola where we have to add 1 to the number called and cross that on our tickets. And we often adapt the game & complicate it. The pace, the interesting game variations, the competition to get the prizes – it’s a ton of fun! Needless to say, we play it all the time. Based purely on luck, it is a surefire hit with people of all ages. Housie, has to be one of the most played games, of all time.
