About this game

This game turns the bingo card into a tablet of inspirational wartime quotes. Most are from the past: Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death”; Admiral Dewey’s “You may fire when ready, Gridley”; Teddy Roosevelt’s “Speak softly – carry a big stick” and Woodrow Wilson’s “America cannot be an ostrich." Others are current: Admiral “Bull” Halsey's “Hit hard – hit fast – hit often,” and War Production Board head Donald Nelson's “Production lines are battle lines.”

Rules

As in Bingo, each player has a 5x5 card, but with a famous quote in each space. There are 75 tiles each with a single quote. These are pulled at random, and players mark off the appropriate spot on their cards if and where it appears. First player to an agreed goal (e.g. complete a single line or fill the entire card) wins.
