I have been asked to do a bunco party next Sunday. I'm not exactly sure what to do, especially since it is only my second show :o ! Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Tasha :rolleyes:
 
look up bunko in searchthere was a thread there about someone who did one before.
 
Bunco is a dice game that a group of people play. I have been involved with bunco and it is great! They probably want you to do a short demo before they play or maybe during an intermission they take. I would just ask what they want you to do!
 
Cute cake for BoncoMake a square cake with white frosting and place oreos to make cake look a dice.

Thanks Julie!Great game directions!
I was wondering how to do the closing (winnings)! Do you include shipping and handling in the winnings? If $10 to play and 8 people play, what are the proper winnings? :confused:

Thanks,
Tasha
 
I have a guest who is hosting in May with her bunco group. She got so excited when I told her we could do a theme related to her game. Thanks for the ideas here.

Julie is it possible for you to save the directions of the game in pdf? I cannot open it for some reason. Thanks!
