Bonco / Bunco Dice Rules

• This game is played by groups of 4 players. Each group has 3 dice and each player has his own score sheet.

• When the game starts, the first player throws all three dice at the same time and sees if he made a score. See the scoring below.

• The player opposite of the table is his partner and the points made by the two partners are counted on each persons score sheet.

• The players pass the dice around until someone throws a Bunco. That round is over and the one with the highest total wins that round.

• There are six rounds and each round has a different target number starting with 1 and up to 6. So the first round is finished when someone throws a Bunco of one’s (three of a kind in 1) and the goal of round two is a Bunco of two’s and so on.

• After six rounds the players change table and partner.

Four rounds consisting of 6 games are played and the winner is the one with the most games won.

Scoring

• Any other Three of a Kind : 5 points
