Cuckoo: A Society Game, circa 1890

Cuckoo is a bingo-like game where players win by covering up all the colors on a card -- at which time they yell "Cuckoo!" The colorful, eye-catching lithography on the box cover -- a staple for successful game manufacturers in the late 1800s -- probably attracted many consumers to try the game. J. H. Singer invented this game in 1891.
