Bunco (1855)

About this game

Players ring the bell each time a "Bunco" is rolled or when a player reaches "21." The object of the game is to have the highest score at the end of six rounds of play. Definition of Bunco: A three-of-a-kind of the number that corresponds to the round (three "1's" in Round One, three "2's" in Round Two and so on.) This is often called a "true" Bunco. A true Bunco immediately ends the round and scores 21 points. Bunco contains 9 dice (3 of each color). Bunco Party, with 12 dice, is a separate entry.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 12.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
