Does anyone know the game called bunko ?

Question

If so can you tell me how to play the game and the rules of the game. I saw this on the beverlyhills house wifes the series.

Answer 1

The game is played in six rounds. In each round you have to get the dice to match the number of the round. For example, if it is round one and you roll a one, you get one point. If you get two ones, you get two points, etc. If you get three ones on a single roll in round one you get a bunco worth 21 points. If you get three of a kind in any other number in round one you get trips and earn 5 points.

Answer 2

All I know about it is that you have to be 12000 years old and have no life to play. (According to my neighbor who is 12005)

Answer 3

All I know it is a good way to get my wife out of the house.......

Answer 4

Strictly speaking, bunco is a game of dice, played in rounds. Players take turns rolling the dice and trying to accumulate as many points as possible to win each round. The game is played at tables of four in competing teams of two.

Players score points by rolling three dice and trying to match the number they're supposed to roll for that round. They get a point for each die that rolls the number, and if all three roll the number they score 21 points. They also score 5 points for rolling three of a kind of any other number. They get to keep rolling as long as they score one or more points with each roll. Once they fail to score they pass the dice to their left and the opposing team gets a chance to score.

During each round the teams at the Head Table try to score 21 points. The first team to score 21 points wins the round and play stops. At all other tables play stops when the Head Table play stops and the team with the highest score at each lower table wins the round.

At the end of the round players change seats, the winners at each of the lower tables move up a table, and the losers at the head table move to the lowest table. Players also switch partners at the end of the round, so you never play with the same partner twice in a row.

During play, players track the number of rounds they win and lose as a team, and the number of Buncos scored individually, on their personal scorecard. At the end of the night wins/losses and Buncos are tallied and prizes awarded.

Ok, first things first. There ARE NO OFFICIAL RULES of Bunco. We've seen lots of copies of official rules, and the rules we've seen are all less than 15 years old. How can you have Official Rules for a game that's been around over a hundred years, just by making them up?

What we've done is gathered all the versions of the game we could find, analyzed the differences, and stripped them down to their core essence while keeping track of all the different variations we encounter.

To keep things simple, we've listed the core rules and the most common variations and options here. Trust us, this is just the tip of the iceberg, but it should help any group that wants to start their own Bunco group.

Of course, in the end, Bunco is what you make it. Whatever rules you want to play by is just fine. Our best advice to you is - whatever your rules are WRITE THEM DOWN - so there's no question later.
