Zingo! is a tile-matching game inspired by bingo, released by ThinkFun in 2002. A dealer operates a plastic dispenser called the Zinger, which reveals two tiles at a time. Players look for a tile that matches a picture on their own card and, if they see one, call out its name to claim the tile. The first player to fill their card wins. Boards come in two difficulty sides, with the green side carrying fewer overlapping images than the red side, making the game easier for younger children. Zingo! has been published in bilingual editions pairing English with Spanish, French, German and Hebrew, and is marketed as a way to build vocabulary, shape recognition and short-term memory in young players.
