Basic Bunco Set-Up and How-To
You can make up your own rules too!
- Supply each table with three dice, spiral notebook, score sheet pad, and a pencil for each player. Place a bell on the head table.
- Divide twelve players into three groups of four people. Two teams sit at each table; teammates sit opposite each other.
- Assign the tables as the head, middle and bottom. At the end of a round, the winning team advances to the next table. Losers at the head table move to the bottom table.
- Begin playing when the scorekeeper at the head table rings the bell. Keep score at each table.
- Starting with ones, roll your three dice. Continue to roll until your roll earns no points (ie no ones rolled). Play then moves to the left.
- Continue to play at your table until a team at the head table scores 21 points or more - at which time, the scorekeeper rings the bell again.
- Change partners after every round, with one player moving to the seat to the right before the next team arrives.
-
Play six rounds per set and at least two sets per game. The winner is the player with the most wins, though some groups award prizes in categories such as most Buncos and most losses.
