If you’re not familiar with the ins and outs, trial and tribulations of dealing with one of the most buzzed about summer destination –it won’t matter at all. You can “relax” by playing the Hamptons‘ newest game, Summer Bingo, which is fun (?) and according to Curbed…

“requires fewer horses than polo.”

Just print out the handy game card provided. Get any five in a row, you win a FREE McMansion weekend (sponsored by the Manorville McDonald’s) and a $100 credit at Sagg Main farm stand –which gets you 5 tomatoes, 4 sunflowers and a New York Times) But sorry, the house is north of the highway. If you don’t get any of those bad jokes, then you won’t mind at all. Good luck! (via Curbed)
