Finding the Elusive "Pokeno" Board Game: It Exists! Poker + Bingo Hybrid

"Pokeno" does not appear to be a widely published commercial board game. It may be:

  • A family/household invention
  • A very small print run by a defunct company
  • A misremembered name (similar: Pokeno = Poker + Bingo hybrid marketed by US Playing Card Co. in 1930s–60s? Wait—this exists.)

Correction: Pokeno IS a Real Game (1930s–Present)

Pokeno is a legitimate game by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC), combining Poker and Bingo. It uses:

  • Standard deck of cards (caller draws)
  • Boards with playing card images in grids (players cover matches)
  • Poker hand rankings determine winners (Pair, Two Pair, Straight, Flush, Full House, Four of a Kind, Straight Flush, Royal Flush)

Where to Buy

  • Amazon — New reproduction sets (~$15–$25).
  • eBay — Vintage sets (1930s–70s tin boxes, collectible).
  • Etsy — Vintage/handmade boards.
  • USPCC official site (sometimes).
  • Local antique malls, estate sales.

If You Meant a Different "Pokeno"

Describe the components/rules—it might be a Pokémon variant, a typo for Pokeno (the poker-bingo game above), or a custom game.
