The rules:
The rules:
Each table contains two teams of two players each.
Designate each of three tables as the high, medium and low table.
Each player takes a turn throwing three dice.
On the first round, the goal is to throw as many 1s as possible.
In the next round, the goal is 2s and so on.
A Bunco is when all three dice show the same number on the appropriate round. Rolling Bunco is worth 21 points, but the player has to yell it out to get credit for it.
Five points are awarded for rolling three of a kind of any number, except the Bunco number.
The player rolls as long as they score one or more points. When they fail to roll the target number on any of the dice, the dice are passed to the player on the left and the scorekeeper records the score on paper.
The round is over when the high table reaches 21 points. They ring a bell and the round is over for everyone.
At the end of each round the winning team from the middle and low tables move up to a higher table. The losing team from the high table moves to the low table. During the switch partners are changed.
