Bunco Ideas

Bunco is a rowdy and simple progressive dice game for tables of four players, commonly played with three tables of four. Because it is simple to pick up and follow, and allows for mingling and movement, it is a good game for socializing. Planning a bunco night with a twist is simple and allows your group to get to know each other better and perhaps give back to your community.

Bunco and Recipes
- Bunco parties usually have refreshments. Have each participant bring an hors d'oeuvres to share along with a copy of the recipe for each player. Exchange recipes each month. Players can collate the recipes in a bunco cookbook and entrepreneurial bunco groups can put together a cookbook with the most popular recipes to sell or just to share.
Bunco for a Cause
- Bunco groups can use their game to raise money for a special cause. Partner with other bunco groups in your area and organize a bunco fundraising night. Rent or borrow a church or school auditorium and set up bunco tables along with appetizer and drink stations. Solicit prize donations from local businesses and charge an admission fee for each player. Donate the proceeds to your designated organization or charity.
Bunco for Bonding
- Women's groups, whether sorority alumnae associations, service member spouse groups or mom's clubs, can bond together with a night of bunco. Set up other activities--mini facials or manicures, for instance--alongside the bunco tables so players can have a spa treat in between or after rounds. This can be a one time event or a regular gathering.
