About

CiNDY is a Macintosh shareware utility for organizing large Tombola games — the Italian variant of Bingo traditionally played at Christmas. Where the standard set of 48 cards quickly runs out at a crowded table, CiNDY scales the deck up dramatically and handles printing, balancing, and game-flow simulation in one tidy app.What it doesThe program builds custom Tombola card sets from a few dozen up to roughly 1,500 cards, with each card holding the standard 15 numbers or an enlarged 25-number layout for variant rules.Card balance and uniquenessEvery generated card is unique within the set and the deck is mathematically balanced — each number appears the same count of times across the set — so no single number gives any player a structural advantage.Printing, export, and simulationCards are progressively numbered and can be printed directly to paper, or exported in two file formats for use elsewhere. A built-in simulator lets you preview how an average game evolves before you commit to a particular deck size.Audience and licensingAimed at Christmas family gatherings, school groups, and public Tombola events, with kid-friendly setup. CiNDY shipped for both Macintosh and Windows as shareware; contact for the Macintosh release was secondaclasse@geocities.com.
