Abstract
An apparatus including a playing board defined by a generally circular configuration, including a planar top surface with four equally spaced recessed triangulated player sections, wherein each player section includes a predetermined number of numbered recesses therewithin to correspond with four different colored sets of correspondingly numbered spheres. The spheres are positionable within a rotating tumbler and are permitted to be removed from the tumbler in a one-at-a-time sequence for selective association with one of said recesses. A further series of white spheres and a further series of black spheres are provided to direct respectively a free turn for the player and 'wild' spheres for the black spheres for use with any number or coloration. Each player must utilize a corresponding coloration for a corresponding player position. Additionally, a plurality of dice are utilized to direct play in sequence about the board game. The tumbler apparatus utilized permits the balls to be directed from the tumbler through an opening that upon being positioned in a downward orientation permits a single sphere to be removed. A player to associate a sequence of spheres in a sequential array in association with a BINGO arrangement is declared a winner.
