description Bunco Overview

Bunco is a social dice game usually played by groups divided into rotating teams. Players roll three dice during successive rounds, attempting to match the target number for that round; scoring commonly includes points for individual matching dice, three-of-a-kind rolls, and a bunco when all three dice show the target number. The game is associated with informal gatherings and party play.

How do the target numbers work in Bunco?

Players roll three dice in successive rounds, with the round number usually serving as the target. In a common six-round game, the targets run from 1 through 6, and each matching die earns a point.

What exactly counts as a Bunco?

A true Bunco is a roll in which all three dice show the current target number, such as three 4s in round 4. Common rules award 21 points for that roll, although groups can set house rules.

How do the rotating teams work in Bunco?

Bunco is usually played at four-seat tables with partners, and teams or seats change after a round so players meet different opponents. The classic party setup often has 12 players at three tables, but the exact rotation can vary.

What is a mini-Bunco in the dice scoring?

A mini-Bunco is commonly three matching dice that do not match the round's target, such as three 5s during a round targeting 2. Many rules give it 5 points, but this scoring detail varies by group.
