I know this has been discussed many times, but I wanted to share a great website I found on the net for anyone considering doing this type of show. Here you can find the rules and document examples all for free.

Also, I made flyers for my Bunco shows. They are using her basic format, only I've tweeked them to fit my needs. If you would like to see them, please email me. If you like them, feel free to use them if you would like. It's an excel spreadsheet and there are two tabs. One is the Individual Tally Sheet and one is the Table Tally Sheet. Be sure you look at both!

Let's the good times roll!!!! :D

LOL.....YEP. I LOVE BuNco.....I wish there were a ladies group around here I could join! :D
 
I have a neighbor having a Bunco Party next weekend...she told me I could bring catalogs and order forms, so I guess I'm just going to make sure whoever my partner is at every game orders something!
 
We have a group of about 20 of us that play on the last thursday of the month. It's great getting together and it's nice to vent about work to friends....we're all teachers that work together. We have a rule...whatever is said at bunko, stays at bunko. we're pretty selective of who we get to sub etc because of our rule.
 
Ok, since I'm lost up in the northwoods...someone explain Bunco to me or give me a link to where I can read about it...

It's not often I feel "lost" on a topic - LOL!
 
The link is in the first post.
 
I'll have to look into that - I have a May host (booked off her own Feb. show) that LOVES games like that. I think she'd have a blast doing that at a PC show!
 
Bunco is a blast! It's really a mindless game, which is why it works so well for a girls' night out...you don't have to concentrate too hard, you can talk and drink and all that jazz...
