Bingo style travel game

Abstract

A Bingo-style game intended for use by travelers that is capable of being played while the travelers are moving while in, for example, an automobile, train or airplane. The game can also be played by travelers on foot, for example, during a walking tour of Paris. The game is constructed from a single sheet of paper, which can be of any suitable size, which is double-sided and folded in such a way as to resemble a map. The game incorporates several game sheets that can include perforations along the folds so that the sheets can be individually separated. The game is a self-contained unit and comes with everything needed to play, including rules, except for a pen or pencil or other writing utensil. The game is intended for one use only and can then be discarded.
