What The Heck Is Bunco, Anyway?
According to Wikipedia, Bunco (also spelled Bunko, Bonko, or Buncko), is a dice game. It consists of twelve or more players, divided into groups of four. The players try to score points while taking turns rolling three dice in a series of six rounds. Meanwhile, a bunco is achieved when a person rolls three-of-a-kind and all three numbers match the round number. This round number is decided at the beginning of the round.
Furthermore, according to the World Bunco Association, the game saw a resurgence in popularity in the United States in the early 21st century. Interestingly, in 2006, it was claimed that during the previous year, “over 59 million women played bunco and over 27 million play regularly”. Members of bunco clubs often take turns hosting and providing snacks, refreshments, and tables to set up the games. Small amounts of money can be involved as well. Moreover, Bunco is sometimes referred to as the “housewife’s drinking game”. Way to go ladies!
