September Bunco Info....

I will update the winners as soon as I get the correct names.

I also have a "Bunco Queen Crown" so the winner of the most wins who had the most wins (I think it's Karen, right?) can wear it during the game (or at least take a picture in it).

Did we find more dice? I think Lorena said she had some. Please let me know.

Also, Stephanie C. is bringing score cards. TJ, please bring extra too (just in case).

My new table was in an accident that night so I'm trying to get a new one because it is really torn up. If I do not get one by then we may need to borrow one. Raul's gonna try to pretty it up for me but if it doesn't work then I'll just have to buy a new one without him knowing, lol.

Renee can't play in Bunco this month. I asked her to find a sub so she is working on that, I hope. If any of you have a friend or family member who want to sub for September's Bunco, please let me know as soon as possible. First come, first serve ;)

Can't wait until Friday, September 18th. Lorena is the wonderful Hostess this month. I just know she is going to go all out with the Football Theme and I can't wait to see it. (Lorena, I have a bunch of football decorations at work if you want some). Lorena will send everyone her address, she lives in La Porte (Lomax area).

September Bunco - Football Theme

Just a reminder Bunco is on Friday, September 18th at 7:00 pm at Lorena's house. Bring your $5, BYOB and wear a football jersey!

Our Bunco Game

Here is the "rules" and "instructions" for our group. If I have missed something or stated something wrong (which is highly likely) or you feel that we should add something, please tell me BEFORE our first game so we can make the changes and I will have correct information to print for everyone.

Objective -
Roll as many “6”s as possible. If you roll three “6”s during your roll… it’s called a BUNCO.

Tables -
At the beginning, each of the 12 Players will draw one card that will have a Team # and a Player #. This will determine what table you are going to and who you are playing with. There will be 3 tables… 4 players to each table. Teams of 2 (your teammate will be the person sitting across from you).

Table #1 is the HEAD table with the “Bell”. They have control of when the game starts and when the game ends. When the bell rings, all tables will begin rolling. The rolling begins with a Bell and ends with a Bell. The first team at the HEAD Table to get 21 points will win and rings the “Bell”. The LOSING team from the HEAD TABLE leaves and goes to the bottom table. The WINNERS stay at the MAIN Table.

The LOSING teams from tables #2, #3 STAY at their tables & the WINNERS move up a table. The goal is to get to the Head Table & stay as long as possible.

You cannot have the same partner twice in a row (unless you are at the MAIN table). Each time you start a new game, you switch teammates except when you move to the Main Table #1.

Marissa, Renee, Arlene & TJ will provide 3 card tables & chairs to each Bunco Game.

The Game / Points-
Players score points for their team by rolling 3 dice.

Each “6” you roll = 1 point. (example- if you roll 2, 3, 6 = 1 point. example- 1, 6, 6 = 2 points). You keep rolling every time you get a “6” until you don’t roll a “6” again. As each team rolls a “6”, they will mark their score cards.

Each time a player rolls and all 3 dice are the same # (example- 2, 2, 2 or 5, 5, 5) you get to “roll over”.

Rolling 3 “1”s = Ace, not good! This means that all of the points your team has accumulated will be erased and you’ll start back at “0” points. But you get to roll again.

The PERSON who rolls three “6”s … gets a BUNCO and you mark it on your scorecard as 1 Bunco and will hold the Fuzzy Dice until another player gets a Bunco. If you pick up 2 out of the 3 dice, your team will get 6 points. So be quick and pick up the dice!!!! If you rolled the BUNCO but your team didn’t pick up the dice… you still get to roll again.

Arlene will provide the Bunco game to each game. Marissa will provide the score cards.


Prizes-
At the end of the game, there are prizes for the following categories. Even the losers get a prize ;)

$20 prize = Most Bunco's
$15 prize = Most Wins
$10 prize = 2nd Most Wins
$10 Prize= Most Losts
$5 prize = Most Aces

In the event that there is a tie for any of the categories, we will have a "roll off" where the highest total of the three rolled dice (add together) wins.

$5 prize = Last Player with Fuzzy Dice
The last prize is sponsored by the Hostess and it is a small prize (no more than $5) for the person who ends up with the fuzzy dice at the end of the game.

*$5 prize = Best Dressed (Theme)
The Best Dressed is optional and sponsored by the Hostess and it is a small prize (no more than $5) for the person the Hostess picks as Best Dressed.

Girls Gone Bunco...

We have decided to start a Bunco Group. Playing Bunco would be lots of fun and a great way to get together with friends (Group Founders: Renee, Arlene & Marissa lol).

Every Bunco group has their own way hosting, playing and rules. Here is the information for our group that was gathered from some of our players from their current or previous Bunco Groups (so don't be mad at the messenger, lol).

1. Girls Gone Bunco Group consists of 12 permanent players.
   
2. Each person of our group contributes $5 each month for the prize pot.
   If a player can’t play Bunco for the month, they are responsible to finding a substitute to play for them (you can post on our blog and we will all help you find a sub). The original player will pay $5 for the sub to play since they are a permanent player of the group.
   
3. Each person is responsible for hosting one Bunco game per year. As the Hostess you will be responsible for collecting the $5 from each player. It would be good to collect the prize money for the following month ahead of time. You will decide the month you want to host.
   
4. The Hostess will provide refreshments and finger foods for the month she hosts. The players can BYOB (alcoholic or non). When you are hostess you are responsible for buying prizes, each person contributes $5.00 so there will be a total of $60.00 the prize break down works is below.
   
5. Our Bunco Group will have a certain theme each month. The Hostess will decide on the theme for the month. The players are asked to dress accordingly. Each Hostess may give a prize for best dressed. This prize is totally optional and will be purchased from the Hostess as her gift and not taken out of the Prize Pot.
