Ways to play
Two lines
Players need two complete lines instead of one, which stretches a round without making it a full blackout.
Four corners
Players win by marking the four corner squares, which makes a quick opening round.
Letter X
Mark both diagonals for a win, a good medium-length round.
Reverse bingo
Everyone starts in the game, and players drop out when one of their squares is called. The last player standing wins.

Printing and setup
For outings, print one card per page, clip it to a clipboard or slide it into a zip bag, and tie on a pencil. For indoor play, two cards per page on cardstock is plenty.
