Bingory is from Blue Orange Games that is most notably known for making all wooden games. Bingory is an all wooden game, even the packing is a wooden crate. Not only do Blue Orange games durable but fun, too. Blue Orange has a selection of games that small children can play.

To play Bingory, place all the wooden tiles face down on the table. Then each player chooses a bingo card. Each card has four items on it. The youngest player goes first and turns over two tiles. If they are a match, then she looks for the item on her bingo card. If it is on her card, then she places both tiles on top of the card. She then gets to turn two more tiles over. If the cards are a match but she doesn't have the item on her bingo card, then it is the next player's turn. The first player to find all four of their items wins the game.

Bingory is simple enough to play with even the youngest member of the household. It's fast so that short attention span will not have to come into play. While I was not able to play test per say this game with my two-year-old, she immensely enjoyed playing with the wooden pieces. She even recognizes some of the items on the wooden tiles. So even if you can't play Bingory, it can be an excellent learning tool for colors and objects.

It's obvious from the packaging of this game to examining the playing pieces that a lot of care went into the making of it. An all wooden game will stand up to the test of time and hours of play. It's nice to know that such products are still made today.

Bingory gives memory a twist since finding a match isn't enough. You are looking for matches to objects on your playing card. Bingory can be a fun game for kids and the adults in their lives.
