🎲 The Classic Game of Housie
Housie is the beloved social game played across community halls, social clubs, pubs, and family parties in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.
Played with 90 numbered balls (1 to 90), players purchase or receive 3×9 tickets containing 15 numbers. As the caller announces each number, players mark their cards until someone completes a winning line or a Full House!
🎫 Housie Ticket Anatomy (3×9 Grid)
A standard Housie ticket consists of 3 horizontal rows and 9 vertical columns (27 cells total) containing exactly 15 numbers:
- Every row contains exactly 5 numbers and 4 blank squares.
- Numbers in each column are grouped by numerical decade (1–9, 10–19, 20–29 ... 80–90).
- All numbers in each vertical column appear in strict ascending order from top to bottom.
💡 DabHousie generates tickets from an 8.1 trillion combination permutation algorithm to guarantee zero duplicate tickets across all players in your room.
