You might be thinking of Rise of Augustus, by Paolo Mori, as the older Bingo style game with a Caesar theme. I just played that recently and really enjoyed it. My wife and I plan to teach it to the family over this holiday break👍
Rise of Augustus was rethemed into Via Magica in 2020. It's an equally great bingo game but with more family friendly artwork and theme. I love to bring it out with the family.
I don't know if this counts as bingo as a mechanic, but in the game ecos you pull tiles out of a bag and from there you get to fill off different symbols as resources on your cards and once they are full you get to use their ability to use on the main playing board.
Just played it again yesterday after a long time. I like how clear the game is in its design. There are just numbers and simple symbols. That makes it easier for non Players to get it and to experience some Combo-Turns.
Super Mega Lucky Box is one of my favorite (action) & write games. It is so satisfying when you hit a nice combo and so frustrating when you can’t seem to land that number you need (in a good way). Tiny Towns has a bingo play mode where a card is flipped for the resource to take and play, instead of rotating between players’ choosing resources. It’s a bit “nicer” way to play, but adds some chaos.
I love Super Mega Lucky Box. After introducing it to my gaming group, one member immediately purchased it, and now we can have double the players!

That's the one! Thank you!

That's fun! I think I'd enjoy that mechanism.

I agree, I love how accessible it is.

That's a great point about Tiny Towns! That's a really satisfying one too.
BoardGameGeek has bingo listed as a mechanism for Rolling Realms.
Interesting! I guess I can see the correlation.
