All About Bunco:

Welcome to the Bunco Game Shop! Bunco or bunko, known as “the bunco game” first originated in England around the 18th century. The bunco game was introduced in San Francisco in 1855 by a gambler who made his way across North America during the gold rush. Now, in the 21st century, bunco is a social game that's rapidly gaining popularity among women (and a few good men) choosing to strengthen their social ties with friends and neighbors.

It's Time to Party Bunco Style!

Bunco is social game that is taking over the country. It's easy as finger painting, takes absolutely zero skill, and is incredibly entertaining. What could be more fun than a bunko party?

Planning a bunco party is just as fun as attending one. First, you should decide what bunco theme to use for the party. Choose a theme that is relative to the time of year or your interests. Luaus, winter wonderland, haunted house or tiki party are all great ideas for bunco parties.

You will need to set up three tables each with four chairs. This will give room for a total of twelve players. Set up each setting with bunco tally sheets, bunco score sheets, and bunco pencils. Each table should have 3 bunco dice and the head table should have the bunco bell and fuzzy bunco dice

Choose bunco reicpes that everyone will enjoy. Remember to stick with your theme when deciding what items to include. Easy finger foods that are not too greasy are the best choice. Since winning the game relies on rolling colored dice with your hands, you don't want to jeopardize that by serving greasy food. No matter how delicious it may be.

Be sure to have a small variety of drinks to serve as well. You could offer a signature bunco cocktail that goes along with any bunco themes, a regular beer, a light beer, and soda. Being able to enjoy a drink during the bunco games will just add to the fun.

bunco prizes for the game should reflect the theme of the party as well. Also, ask you guests to dress with the theme. Halloween costume parties are especially fun for this. A bunco prize for best costume, or even worst costume, can be given out.

Bunco party favors are always a good idea. The favors should not only reflect the theme, but also bunco. Try finding fuzzy dice that go with your theme. If you decide to give a door prize, have it be a bunco game kit. You could also include tips on hosting a bunco party.

The key to having a successful bunco party is to keep it fun and informal. Friendly rivalries will form and new friendships will be made. Hosting a bunco party is a great way to spend an evening with friends.
