Bunco Night Potluck 4 - Rolling the Dice on Love

Let's Play Bunco! Strictly speaking, Bunco is a game of dice, played in rounds. Players take turns rolling the dice and trying to accumulate as many points as possible to win each round. Players score points by rolling three dice and trying to match the number they're supposed to roll for that round--three of a kind is a "Bunco." Prizes are awarded for the most Bunco's, most wins and most losses at the end of the game.

Right!

Now the real truth is . . .

Bunco is a social event. It's a party. It's a chance to fall off our diets, snack on M&Ms, Chex-Mix or anything else we can get our hands on. In addition to the snacks, we will have a full potluck meal with entrees, appetizers, desserts and a little somein' somein' to drink. So it's not the mindless dice game it appears to be after all! Don't worry about how it's played--that can be taught in about 90 seconds--just come and enjoy.

Since I rather enjoyed the challenge of the potluck item being related to the letters B-U-N-C-O for our Jan 7th game night, I am continuing that theme in February. To honor Valentine's Day, the Potluck theme is: a dish beginning with a L, O, V, E, R or B, O, Y, T, O, Y - hahahaha - good luck! Don't be concerned - there are plenty of options for you out there. Be creative!

**NOTE 1: This event has limited space availability. All attendees must play Bunco. There is a buy into the game of $10.

**NOTE 2: Please be on time. Our schedule is mingle, drink, eat dinner & dessert, and then play. When we play, all attendees play at once and the playing part can go 1.5-2.0 hours.
