Read the full game description

Roll the dice, hit the bell and name the correct combination of color and number. You cross off the combination on your score sheet. The first person to complete 5 combinations in a row and say “ZINGA!” wins. To win you have to react as quickly as possible. But be careful! After 3 mistakes you are out of the game. And you make mistakes quickly, because even doubting for too long counts as a mistake! —description from the publsiher
