What is Battle Bingo?

Game Overview

The squares can be acquired by having your viewers send the Item shown in the square!
If your viewers send MORE Items than the other team who is defending the square, you gain the square!
The Family gains a Bingo when 3 squares are aligned diagonally, horizontally, or vertically.
The following 8 lines are valid.

The winner is the player with the highest number of bingos at the end of 5 turns.

<Winning condition>

The player with the highest number of bingos at the end of 5 turns wins.
If the number of bingos is the same, the player with the highest number of squares wins!
If the number of squares won is also the same, the winner is the one with the highest number of coins listed in the squares won.

How to acquire squares

Before the start of each battle round, the player decides with their family members which squares they want to attack/defend and tells them to the Pococha management team via Instagram DM.
If the attack is successful, the corresponding square will be acquired.
If the defense is successful, the player can prevent the opponent from acquiring the corresponding square!

<Attack and Defense Declaration>

【Attack】

Declare 2 squares per battle that you will attack.
Declare squares that have not been acquired by anyone or squares that have been acquired by an opponent.

【Defense】

Declare 1 square per battle that you will defend.
Declare for squares that no one else has acquired or that you have acquired.

<Conditions for acquiring squares>

If both players declare the same square to be attacked, the player whose Family sent MORE of the item in the square will win the battle.

If you get fewer items than your opponent, you will not get the corresponding square.

<Conditions for defending your square>

Declares defense against squares that opponents are likely to attack
You can declare defense for squares you own or squares neither of you owns
