Nale Family Trash-to-Treasure

The Rules

1. We each get our bingo card and put our name on it.

2. Select our numbers by highlighting 8 numbers. If during the game any of those numbers get called we get to choose out of the "new" item pile or steal if that is an option for us.
- Also at this time select 3 numbers by underscoring that number in red and writing each number on a seperate drawing slip and giving to moderator or helper to enter freeze number drawing. These numbers when called will earn a freeze for you by two different options. The number can be drawn from the freeze pot or called by the moderator in the regular progression of the game. Freezes can only be used during an active play by an active player except if drawn from the freeze number pot.
- When numbers are called during regular game mark your card by drawing one diagonal line through it. Do not mark numbers called during freeze number drawing. If the number is called during the freeze number drawing and then is later called during the regular progression of the game, if the player has that number marked he/she is able to get a second freeze from it.

3. Each player is given one steal slip at the beginning of the game. When you steal you give your steal slip to the player you are stealing from. That person then is able to use it when stealing from someone else. That person also gets to select another item for the one that was stolen from him/her. If selected out of the "new" item pile it is a free pick to replace the item that was stolen.
- If that person chooses to steal they must pass on a steal slip to the person from whom they are stealing. If you steal from someone you must also put your name on their card in the steal box on their bingo card. When a player has been stolen from the first 5 times they get a freeze. After that they get a freeze for every 2 times stolen from. It is up to the player to bring that to the attention of the. moderator.

4. If during the calling of the bingo numbers there is a number called that is on your card but is not highlighted mark it anyway. A marked bingo (see definitions) earns your choice of a steal slip or a freeze slip and must be called out during active play that round. If the last number called results in a double bingo, you get three choices. A triple bingo called out when it happens gets five choices. If Bingo is called but is not correct on verification, return an item to the new item pot.

5. Steal slips can only be presented to another player when you are an active player.

6. For each 10 items that a player brings for the pile they get to add a name to the name pot for drawings. Everybody playing gets their name added to the name pot once whether they brought anything or not. (fyi - if nobody else brings more than 10 per person, just disregard and if others do, know that I will not be adding my name in pot 9 times, will be putting littles and random).

7. Drawings from the name pot will happen at random times. One person will set a timer for a random number of minutes between 10 and 25 minutes and will signal the moderator to draw from the pot. The person whose name is drawn will get to pick one item.

8. Another person will set a timer for 20 minutes and draw from the freeze number pot. Moderator will draw a number (reminding players to not mark this number on their bingo card at this time). Person(s) who have the number marked by a red underscore will receive a freeze that must be used then. Others who have that same number on their card also win a freeze to be used immediately.

Terminology

• "new" item - item that has been brought for the intent of being turned into treasure and has not yet been selected by it's new beholder
• active player - you have on your bingo card the last number called, it is highlighted, and the round is not over
• active play - when a number has been announced by moderator and for 3 minutes until round is over
• freeze number pot - a pot that contains the numbers each player selected for freezing items
• bingo - when five in a row numbers in a row (up & down, side to side, or diagonally) have been called
• double bingo - when the calling of one crosshair number in the current round causes two bingos simultaneously. When there was a previous bingo and that happens to intersect current bingo for the purposes of Trash-to-Treasure this is not a double bingo.
• triple bingo - when the calling of one crosshair number in the current round causes three bingos simultaneously. When there were previous bingo(s) and that happens to intersect current bingo for the purposes of Trash-to-Treasure this is not a triple bingo.
