Flimsies are a type of bingo cards printed on thin sheets of paper. They are typically printed with three cards on a single sheet, but also come in other formats:

  • One card per sheet
  • Two cards per sheet
  • Four cards per sheet
  • Six cards per sheet
  • Nine cards per sheet

A win on a flimsy on a "special" game usually pays more than a win on a "regular" game.

They are also known as flimsy sheets or throwaways.
