How to Play Bing Bang Bong Card Game
Bing Bang Bong has very few similarities to poker, other than the fact that there is betting in the game. Even in that case, though, there is a difference, as the amounts paid into the pot really are not bets at all, but are referred to as antes. The object of Bing Bang Bong is to be the last player in the game to lose all three of your antes.

Remove antes from a player if the card they played is matched by the player which plays directly after them. One ante is lost into the pot if the player after them completes two cards of the same value in a row. If the player matches a card that creates three cards in a row of the same value, the player before them loses two antes into the pot. If the player matches a card that creates four cards in a row of the same value, the player before them loses all three of their antes into the pot, and is out of the game.

Deal seven new cards to everyone with antes remaining in front of them--if everyone runs out of cards--but multiple players are still in the game. The game continues until only one player has antes remaining in front of them.

Tips & Warnings
Bing, Bang, Bong is a game that can end in the sequence of one deal, or take over six deals to complete the game. Being able to count cards in this game can help you significantly when you are contemplating the potential of someone knocking two or three of your antes into the pot.
This is not a game to play with serious card players. The amount of luck outweighs skill and will result in a lot of frustration. It is better for an extremely casual game night.
