About this game
Lingo is an adaptation of the TV game show of the same name, which at the time of release aired in the Netherlands, France (as Motus ) and Germany (as 5 mal 5 ).
Two teams compete to guess five-letter words.

The first letter of the word is revealed from the beginning.
If a guessed word contains a correct letter, it is marked with a square if in the right place and a circle if in the wrong place.
There is a time limit of 30 seconds to enter a guess.
If the word is not correctly guessed within 5 tries, it is the other team's turn.
If they also fail, an additional letter of the word is revealed.
The team who correctly guesses then draws two balls from a ball basin containing red, green and numbered blue balls.
Red balls end their turn, and drawing three green balls over the course of the game adds a bonus to their winnings.
Blue balls fill spots on a "lingo card", i.e. a bingo card.
Completing rows or columns on the card adds an additional bonus.
Team two can be controlled by either a human or a computer player.
Though possibly only released in Germany, the cartridge contains English, Dutch, French and German game versions with pools of words specific to each language.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Lingo for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Lingo to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2021.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Lingo, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
