Roll the dice, find the right combination of color and number as quickly as possible and hit the bell. If you didn't make any mistakes, you get to cross off the combination on your score sheet. Once you have crossed off a column or row of 5 combinations, shout "ZINGA!" and win the game. Zinga is an upbeat dice game, combining roll & write with a reaction game. To win you have to be fast, but watch out for mistakes! Mentioning a combination that doesn't exist, waiting too long to mention something or recovering yourself after a slip of the tongue is already considered a mistake.
Zinga is very simple, but also has some room for tactics. For example, with the combination BLUE NINE you can place the blue pawn, which allows you to stop someone else's turn or ignore your own mistake once. You can also choose to mention previously dashed combinations again. If you do this for the third time, you may remove a space of your choice.
