The goal

Win as many rounds as possible over six rounds. The player with the most round wins (and Buncos) at the end takes the night.

How a turn works

  1. 1

    Sit in teams

    Play at tables of four: two teams of two, partners facing each other.

  2. 2

    Roll for the round number

    In round 1 you're hunting 1s, round 2 hunts 2s, and so on up to 6. Roll three dice; score a point for each die showing the round number.

  3. 3

    Keep rolling while you score

    Score and you roll again. Score nothing and the dice pass to your left.

  4. 4

    Bunco!

    Three of the round number at once is a Bunco: 21 points. Shout it!

  5. 5

    Switch tables

    A round ends when a team at the head table reaches 21. The winners move up, losers stay, and partners change.
