Preparing for a Bunco Game
In order to prepare, arrange players in tables of 4. Since Bunco is usually played with larger groups, multiple tables are suggested. Each table should have 3 sets of dice. Create scorecards with columns for rounds and number 1 to 6 (corresponding to the 6 sides of the die) and a space for the players name.
Bunco Game Supplies and Components

How to Play Bunco: Example of Play
Bunco is played in 6 rounds and each round corresponds with the number 1 through 6 on a standard die. For round 1, players rolls the three dice aiming to get as many “1s” as possible. Every time they roll a “1”, they earn a point. Players continue around the table, each taking a turn to roll the 3 dice. The round ends when a player at the table accumulates 21 points or more in “1s”. When this happens, they shout BUNCO! To signal the end of the round. Rounds 2-6 continue in the same manner with different target numbers. For example, in Round 2, players roll for “2s”; Round 3, players roll for “3s” and so on until players finish all 6 Rounds.
After all six rounds are played, players tally up their total points from all rounds on their scorecards. The player with the most points wins!
