  Whether you are a seasoned player who knows every roll or have never picked up a pair of dice in your life, Bunco is incredibly easy to learn and open to everyone.

  Event Details

  What is Bunco?

  Bunco is a lighthearted, social dice game played in rounds.  Because players rotate tables and partners throughout the game, it’s one of the best ways to mingle, chat, and make new friends.  There’s no complicated strategy involved—just roll, score, and enjoy the friendly competition!

  How to Join

  No advance registration or prior experience is required—just bring yourself and a smile!
