Ya’ll ready for some game night fun? Check out this cute lil’ number for a game called Bunco! It’s a family card game that will have you rollin’ dice and makin’ deals. It’s all ‘bout luck and strategy, so gather up ya peeps and let’s get rollin’!
Rollin’ the Dice
Every player gets three dice and on each turn rolls them at the same time. The goal is to get as many of the same number as possible. If you manage to get three of a kind that matches the round number you are currently playing (more on that in a minute), you get a point! If you get more than three of a kind, each additional dice counts as yet another point. For example, if you roll four fours on a round where fours are the goal, you score two points.
When a player rolls three of a kind that doesn’t match the current round number, they earn a “Bunco,” which is worth 21 points! The game includes twelve rounds, and each round corresponds to a different set of numbers that players are trying to match.
