How many cards do you play together?

[Green-Moo]

Talking about newbies to the game made me wonder how many cards other people can play at once? Although I've been playing for ages, I can't cope with more than two or three before I get all of a muddle.

I'm the same, Green. I cope very well with three or four. More than that I get nervous thinking I've missed something. Less cards and you can people watch, catch some conversations, have a little chat of your own with the people nearby, and have a nice relaxing time.

I stick at two, I go for fun and if I try to do more than that it is not fun anymore. I have enough stress in the rest of my life without needing to build it into my leisure time!

I play about five or six cards pretty comfortably. More than that and it is not much fun for me because I start to get behind.

tater, you have made me feel totally inadequate, as a woman I always thought I was good at multi tasking but trying to cope with six cards would be my idea of torture. Bingo is one of the few things I do just for me, so perhaps I have unconsciously decided that this is the part of my week where I don't need to multi task.

I just have found it easy to play that many after playing so many years. I can remember when I first started I couldn't even manage one card very well.

Yep tater, that is very impressive! You must have to concentrate pretty hard to keep tabs on that many. As soon as I get distracted by something, I start to get behind.
