Bunko

Once a month, the ladies in the "hood" get together to play Bunko. A game that consists of 6 rounds (1's thru 6's). First round you roll for 1's,second round 2's, etc. The OBJECTIVE is for you & your partner (this is the person sitting diagonal from you) to roll more of that round's number than the other team before the Head Table rings the bell.
The Head Table controls the game. To begin, someone at the Head Table rings the bell. All tables begin rolling for that rounds number. Play rotates from player to player clockwise after a player does not roll that rounds number on any of the 3 die.
As soon as a team from the head table gets 21 points, they ring the bell signaling the end of the round. The LOSING team from the HEAD TABLE then leave & go to the next table. The WINNERS stay. Where as, the LOSING teams from tables STAY at there tables & the WINNERS move up to the next 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. So switch @ the new table.
It gives the ladies in the "hood" an opportunity to catch up and it gave me an opportunity to meet some people who I wave to each day coming home from work! Everyone was VERY nice and some of the ladies were a hoot! It was definitely worth the $5 that I put in the pot, maybe next month I'll win it back!
