Suken BINGO and Its Secure Variants Using Card-Based Cryptography
Ren IGARI, Yuichi Komano, Takaaki Mizuki
BINGO is a classic game where players compete to complete a line on a 5 × 5 grid, and it is fun and popular. However, since it typically requires a specialized bingo machine, spontaneous games of BINGO are challenging. To address this, we introduce Suken BINGO, a new board game that allows players to declare integers instead of using a bingo machine, making it more accessible. Specifically, players verbally call out integers in a manner similar to the Japanese hand game Suken. This removes the need for a dedicated bingo machine.
