Product Description

Bunco originated in the 1800's as a parlor game. Over the years, the game has been passed down from friend to friend, and its fame has spread across the nation. Fast forward to the 2000's, where this popular progressive dice game reemerges as Box of Bunco. Now Bunco games can be played by as few as two players or in groups as large as 12. There are six rounds of play, each with a different target number (one through six). Roll three-of-a-kind of that target number (a Bunco) and score big. Box of Bunco brings you light competition and wonderful social fun, making it a great game for kids, families, couples and especially parties. Includes: silver-tone bell, nine dice (three different colored sets), score pad and instructions.

For 2 to 12 players.

I bought this set online, it has a GREAT price. It also gave me everything I needed to have my own Bunko party. The only thing it doesn't have is the fuzzy dice. I'm not a big fan of the color pink and I brought the set hoping it would be different. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the colors are red, white, and blue. Its perfect for me because I'm a Marine wife! But it has everything I need to get my Bunko night going :-)

This review is from: Box of Bunco by Winning Moves (Toy)

I've had this game since 2004. It's simple, quick and easy to learn. I also bought additional dice of different colors so that everyone in my Wednesday gaming group has their own set of dice (8 total). I also made a slight change in the rules to make it a little more excitiing. In the last round, instead of getting one point, you get six points for each six you roll. This way, anyone has a chance to win the game, including someone who's far behind in score. It works pretty well, and my group likes this game.

The game of Bunco has been around since the late 1800's, when it was a popular parlor game among Victorian families. At some point, it spread through the mining and gambling communities in the still-wild West and became a popular way to lose lots of money quickly.

The game of Bunco has remained popular among many people for all this time, and now Bunco sets like this one are readily available, so you don't have to steal dice from every other game in your house or create makeshift scorecards.

Bunco is a great game for an afternoon with the girls, a family game night or an alternative to poker (or your other gambling game of choice).
