Bingo Bango Bongo Rules
Players: 3 to 4
Bingo Bango Bongo awards three points on every hole: 'bingo' to the first ball on the green, 'bango' to the closest to the pin once everyone is on, and 'bongo' to the first ball in the hole. Order of play matters more than raw skill, so it keeps mixed groups close.
The three points
Bingo: first player to get a ball on the green. Bango: nearest the pin once all balls are on the green. Bongo: first to hole out. Honor system on order of play matters — the player furthest from the hole always plays first.
Because a shorter hitter can be first on the green by playing first, the game naturally balances different abilities.
