I absolutely love this story. What a terrific and creative origin for this game, and I imagine it being joyously played in the West to this day!

Author Reply: Thanks dear! I thought it might be fun to imagine the game originating with hobbits!

Great story, Dreamflower!

Now we know where Bingo was invented and after whom it was named ;-)

It is funny to imagine Elrond's children playing Bingo - and Erestor, of course.

I also liked the names of the Bolger children, Rudivar and Odogar - very Bolgerish, indeed!

And last, but not least, where hobbit children are gathered, a Tip and Tulip Story is not far away :-)

Thank you!

So hobbits invented golf and bingo, huh? The former is such a cute part of The Hobbit. Love to imagine that Frodo and Sam would join Celebrian in those afternoon games, just in time for tea too. :) You should write a sequel! *prods you with furry foot*

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I find bingo utterly boring and online gaming mind-bogglingly sad but your great story makes it sound like fun!

Ah, but I do love this introduction of Bingo to the world by Uncle Bingo! And I'm still glad that Bingo Bolger-Baggins got changed to Frodo! Heh! Thanks for this, Dreamflower!

Bingo does seem like the sort of game hobbits would have enjoyed. I wouldn't have thought about it in connection with elves, but that works too....

I wonder if we have the game from the Shire-hobbits or the Gondorians?
