To Win The Bunco Game You Must First Know The Rules

There are many different rules when it comes to the game of bunco Knowing them all is relatively impossible. However, if you follow these general bunco guidelines, you will be on your way to claiming your prize.

The first thing to do is designate a head table. The head table will have a bell and one fuzzy die, tiara, or boa. All the tables will have 3 dice, a tally pad, and each person will have their own bunco score sheet and pencil. Next, you’ll want to look across the table. This person is your temporary partner, but you must remember not to trust them too much, they won’t be your partner for long.

To start off, the head table will ring the bell. The starting person at each table will then start to roll the dice. Each time a one shows up, the player will get a point. Once a one doesn’t show up, the turn is over. If you are lucky enough to roll 3 ones, be sure to yell BUNCO for everyone to hear, try to ignore their jealous remarks. When you roll the bunco, you will be given the fuzzy die, tiara, or boa to parade around in, 21 points on your score sheet, and full bragging rights. If you happen to roll 3 of a kind, other than ones, you get a funco. You will receive five points for each funco.

Once a team at the head table reaches a score of 21, the bell is rung. At this point, it’s time for the game to stop and everyone to switch places. This is where it can become a little confusing. The winning team at each table will remain at the table, but one person will move one seat. Two new players will join the table and each player will have a different partner. The losing team at each table will have to move to another table and get new partners. Get on your game face and prepare for another round.

Now, the head table will again ring the bell and the starting player will roll the dice again. This time you will be rolling for twos. Bunco gameplay will continue this way until you have gone through all six numbers on the dice, four times for a total of 24 rounds.

Now that you know the rules of the game, it’s time to get rolling on towards your victory.

Bunco Rules

Hello future bunco players!

Are you looking for official Bunco Rules?

Well, I’m here to tell you that there really isn’t a set of “official” bunco rules! That opens the door to all sorts of bunco fun!

“Tell me how to play bunco!” Well, bunco does have rules … but officially, there are no SET rules.

Set up 3 tables: Head Table, Middle Table and Losing Table. (Some groups call them High, Middle, and Low). On each table you should have a score sheet, pencils and 3 dice. A bell is placed on the Head Table and a large fuzzy die is placed on the Losing Table.

Who sits where? Take 12 individual score cards and number them 1-12. Have each person draw a card. 1-4 sits at the Head Table, 5-8 at the Middle Table, 9-12 at the Losing Table. They would also sit in that order at each table, so teammates can be decided. Teammates are sitting across from each other. Pick one person on each team to tally points during each round.

There are 6 rounds in each set of Bunco. The Head table starts and ends the round by ringing the bell. The scorekeeper at each table is the first to roll. Players gain points by rolling 3 dice. For each round, players try to roll the same number as the round (i.e. in Round 3, rolling a dice with 3 dots). This is also called the target number. One point is given for each target number rolled. For example, in round 3 you roll a 1, a 2, and a 3. The “3″ would give you one point.

5 points are given when you roll three of a kind of any number BUT the Target number, and when you roll 3 dice with the Target number on it, you earn 21 points. Of course, you have to loudly yell out “BUNCO” to get those points, but you’ll be so excited – that will be easy! Make sure you give yourself on your score sheet one Bunco point.

Players roll as long as they continue scoring one or more points. When they do not throw at least one dice with the Target number, or 3 of a kind, they pass the dice to the player on the left. The scorekeeper then records the score on the Tally Pad as a temporary team score.

The round is over at any table when one team reaches 21 points. When the Head Table reaches 21 points, they ring the bell and the round is over for everyone. Players at the Middle and Losing table do get to finish their rolls, however. Every player gets at least one roll per round.

The winning team from the Middle Table and Losing Table move up to a higher table. The losing team from the Head table moves to the low table. During the switch, partners are changed. This is why it’s important to keep your own score sheet. Write a W (win) or L (lose) on your sheet for each round. Also remember to mark down any Buncos you had during that round.

Some groups play two sets of Bunco, and then take a break to eat or snack. Then they continue with 2 more sets. The game ends when all 4 sets have been completed. Each person then totals their Buncos, Wins and Losses from each round and writes the totals at the bottom of their sheets. Prizes are then given out.

Start a Bunco Group with Fun Bunco Party Guests

I want to rock and roll all night and Bunco Party every day!

It’s important to get in the Bunco party frame of mind when you start to plan any Bunco event. In fact I have a post it note on my computer with this sentence to remind me every day what a fun and exciting business I work in.

How does this sentence mean to you?

I see so many Bunco party hosts make two common mistakes:

1. They want to start a Bunco party group without taking time to plan the group dynamics.  A Bunco party group is only as “hot” as the members you invite. When you start a new Bunco Party group you need to know everyone fairly well, and know their key personality traits you sell. You need at least one Bunco expert who can lead the flow of the party and explain the Bunco rules. You need to be passionate about the game of Bunco. You are going to be playing, eating, talking, and dreaming with this Bunco group for hopefully a long, long time. Be passionate about the people you invite to join your Bunco Party group and they will be passionate about about joining you in too.

2.  Bunco party hosts think they have to have 1,00’s of party supplies and a ton of theme ideas to start their Bunco party group and have a successful party.
Wrong. You don’t need EVERY single unco supply to have a successful Bunco theme supplies as the months go on. If you want to host basic Bunco parties, pick up one of the complete Bunco kits that have generic Bunco dice, Bunco scores sheets, Bunco tally pads, a Bunco bell, and pencils.

I want you to pick one set of friends and one theme to start with … and do it well. Your new Bunco party group will tell you what they want to do for Bunco themes next.

Are you passionate about your friends Are you passionate about Bunco?

Happy rolling,
-DeAnna

Time to get started today with your Bunco Party at the Bunco Games Shop
