How do you play it?
You play Zinga with an active player, who rolls the 6 dice and chooses from a colored or a combination of white and a colored die. The other players (passive) may only make a combination of white and the colored one. Are you the first to see a number that matches a number on your score sheet? Press the bell as quickly as possible and call the number with color, if you are the first you can cross off this number. If you cross the number 9 in the middle, you get the blue pawn, with which you can bully other players or use it to your advantage.
Crossed off the number before? Then you can put a cross in the green column. 3 crosses means an extra cross of your choice. In case of an error, put a cross in the red column. If you have 5 in a row on your score sheet, you shout ZINGA and you win the game.
My opinion
Simple and cheerful game that comes in a box with inlay. Zinga resembles a combination of bingo and halli galli. If you like these games, Zinga will certainly appeal to you.
