To have the highest number of wins at the end of three games of Bunco.   

 

Bunco terms:

Bunco:  A three-of-a-kind of a number that corresponds to the round (three "1's"  in Round One, three "2's" in Round Two,...).   A Bunco immediately ends the round and scores 21 points.

 

Mini Bunco:  A three-of-a-kind of a number other than the one being played for in the round (three "2's" in Round 1, three "5's" in Round 6,...).  A Mini Bunco is worth five points.

 

To Play:

Set up tables to accommodate 4 players per table.  People sitting opposite each other are a team for that round.  Once the bell is rung by the head table, take turns rolling the dice for that round.  Keep a running point tally on the team wheel until someone either gets Bunco, or a head table team gets to 21. 

 

After a Bunco or 21 points has been achieved, each team marks their score card with a win or loss for that round. The two winning players at the head table remain, and the losing team rotates to table three.  The winning team from table three moves to table two.  The winning team from table two moves to the head table.  (One of the players who remains at each of the tables must shift to a vacant chair in order to create new teams for the next round.)

 

Play continues in this manner until three rounds of six have been completed.

 

Prizes are awarded to the following at the end:

The person with the most wins.

The person with the most Buncos.

The person with the most losses.

 

In the event that there is a tie for any of the categories, have a "roll off" where the highest total of the three rolled dice (add together) wins.

 

 

In the event that there is an odd number of players on game night, a "ghost" can be in the empty seat with the "ghost's" opposite partner rolling two times each rotation instead of once.
