Can there be variations in the game?

Examples :

1

Even, Odd, Perfect Square, Prime numbers etc to complete the Housie.

2

Any other Geometrical shape than Rectangle can be evaluated for constructing Housie tickets?

In North America, we have BINGO! Same idea, numbers are called between 1 and 75 (I think), and you win by either getting the full card, corners, a line or diagonal line, or a square around the numbers. In more technical BINGO variations, they look for the following patterns once you yell BINGO:

Thanks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_numbers

Housie will be completed depending upon the Number types.

Example :

1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100,121,144,169,196,225,256 etc are perfect squares.

Those who completes Top row, Middle row, Bottom row & Full Housie who gets only Perfect Squares numbers are the winners.

Thanks.

Can this be a variation?

The Housie ticket is a 3 * 9 matrix.
Three rows & Nine columns.

Can  Housie tickets be constructed 4 * 10,  3 * 7, 5 * 9 etc dimensions ?

Absolutely, there's nothing stopping the makers of this game from diversifying by changing the dimension. Although I must ask, how will people of Indian perceive the change? Are they happy with the way it currently is?

Thanks.

Design. Look & Feel.

Any other Geometrical shape for the Housie ticket or Bingo card other than Rectangle shape?

Ex : Square, Hexagon, Pyramid etc.

Almost all gaming cards sold in the North America are rectangular, for example:

Partly because they're easier to handle and store in one's wallet. Also, form always needs to fit function. A circular, triangular, or >4 sided card wouldn't accomplish that.
