Trimarian Court Bingo

Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Court is more than one hour late. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award.
Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household.
Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" King Odo says that someone "rocks". FREE SPACE Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. Somebody drops the Sword of State.
The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie.
Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear.

Instructions: Pay attention in court! If you see or hear something described in one of the boxes, mark off that box. If you mark off five boxes in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally -- true diagonal, not "sort of" diagonal), jump up and shout "Bingo!" (and pray that the Crown has a sense of humor).
