Player's Review

From MobyGames:
'Lingo is an adaptation of the TV game show of the same name, which at the time of release aired in the Netherlands, France (as Motus) and Germany (as 5 mal 5).

Two teams compete to guess five-letter words. The first letter of the word is revealed from the beginning. If a guessed word contains a correct letter, it is marked with a square if in the right place and a circle if in the wrong place. There is a time limit of 30 seconds to enter a guess. If the word is not correctly guessed within 5 tries, it is the other team's turn. If they also fail, an additional letter of the word is revealed.

The team who correctly guesses then draws two balls from a ball basin containing red, green and numbered blue balls. Red balls end their turn, and drawing three green balls over the course of the game adds a bonus to their winnings. Blue balls fill spots on a "lingo card", i.e. a bingo card. Completing rows or columns on the card adds an additional bonus.'
