Ways to play
Group goal
Count every square the whole group completes and set a shared target.
Reverse bingo
Everyone starts in the game, and players drop out when one of their squares is called. The last player standing wins.
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.

Printing and setup
Print one card per person. Challenge-style games work best on a single card per page with large squares, so players have room to write names, dates or notes.
