Bunco

How to Play Bunco

1. Split players into tables, choose a scorekeeper, and roll to decide who starts.
2. Each round has a target number, starting with 1 and ending with 6.
3. On your turn, roll three dice and score 1 point for each die that matches the target number.
4. Rolling three of the target number is a "bunco" and scores 21 points.
5. Rolling three of any other number scores 5 points.
6. If you score any points, you keep rolling. If you score zero points, play passes to the next player.
7. The round ends when a player reaches 21 points. Move to the next target number.

The player or team with the highest total score after six rounds wins.

• Craps - Craps is a dice game where players bet on the outcomes of a pair of dice. The game is popular in casinos and can also be played in informal settings as 'street craps'. Players bet on various possible outcomes of the dice roll, with different odds and payouts for each type of bet.
• Qwixx - Qwixx is a quick-playing dice game in which everyone participates, no matter whose turn it is. Each player has a scoresheet with the numbers 2-12 in rows of red and yellow and the numbers 12-2 in rows of green and blue. To score points, a player must mark off a number that is equal to or lower than the number of the last number in the row. The game ends when two rows have been locked or one player has locked four rows. The player with the most points wins.
• Pig - Pig is a push-your-luck dice game where players roll a single die to build a turn total, but a roll of 1 wipes out the points for that turn.
