Bunco Scoring

Each table has a notepad to keep score. Draw a line down the center & label each column Us and Them. Each table will decide who will be scorekeeper - it can change each round. The scorekeeper keeps track of how many of that round's number is rolled by each team. The scorekeeper can use hash marks or add on the total number rolled after each individual.

The scorekeeper counts the number of that round's die that were rolled & places it under each team’s column.

If 3 of a kind is rolled of that round's number it is a BUNKO!!!!! The individual must YELL "BUNKO" & someone throws them the Bunko BUNNY (or other designated soft prop) to hold onto until someone else gets a BUNKO & they pass it on.

A BUNKO is worth 21 points.

The player holding the BUNNY after the last game receives a small jackpot.

Birdie - 3 of a kind not of that round's number. It is worth 5 points. Remember you get to keep rolling until you don't roll the number you need.

If the Head Table rolls a bunko on the 1st roll and rings the bell before the other tables have completed a round, then the table(s) should complete one round to determine score.

The bunk score card is set up so that every individual can keep track of their wins, losses and bunkos.

After each round you put a W(win) or L(loss) by the appropriate place on the bunk score sheet. Every time you get a bunko or Birdie put a hash mark on your scorecard. In the end each person totals up their wins, losses, bunkos and birdies.
