Players choose a tabla (Spanish word for 'board') to play with, from a variety of previously created tablas, each with a different selection of images. Each player has at least one tabla, a board with a randomly created 4 x 4 grid of pictures with their corresponding name and number. Every image has a name and an assigned number, but the number is usually ignored. Lotería (Spanish word meaning 'lottery') is a traditional game of chance, similar to bingo,and is played on a deck of cards instead of numbered ping pong balls.
