Bunco is played using 3 six-sided dice for six rounds. Players earn points by rolling 3 dice in each round. Each round has a target number to roll (same as the round number) and players earn 1 point for each target number rolled.
Players roll 3 dice as long as they score one or more points. If all three dice have the same number equal to the round number, it is called a "bunco" which is worth 21 points. If all three rolled dice numbers are same but not the round number, then it is called "mini-bunco" which is worth 5 points. When a player fails to roll either the target number for the round or, a mini-bunco, the turn is passed to the next player.
Each round is over as soon as a player has scored 21 or more points. Player winning most rounds wins the game.
