The International Association of Amateur Heralds

I created a heraldry group BINGO game for everyone. Hope you enjoy. I think this applies to each of us in every group or forum. Just a bit of humor borrowed from an idea my daughter's play when convening tables at conventions.

Bingo!

You didn't have space for "New member asks factual question, gets the same answer from one English officer of arms, three academicians of the AIH, and five people with several dozen published books and articles on heraldry among them... and then complains about their snobbishness and arrogance when it's not the answer he wants."

Oh, and "Member wants to know where he can find an online search engine with a tightly structured set of query options that he can use to ensure that the arms he just designed don't duplicate any other coat anywhere in the world since the beginnings of heraldry."

If anyone actually answered that question the Internet would probably melt.

I am thinking that I may need to edit the existing game card, or come up with a second version.

Indeed, because we only want to live in the world we imagine.

Well, of course if all the players are using the same card, there's no game.

Member posts picture of unidentified coat of arms from unidentified source and demands "What do you think about that?!"
