"I have just played my first game of Bunco and love it. I am going to get some girls together and start our own club. Thank you."
Have you played bunco before? Whether you've played once or are part of a regular bunco game, you'll find that we all share something...
No two groups play the game the same way!!
How our neighborhood bunco game got started:
I had heard about this bunko game for years. I knew that everyone said it was a lot of fun...but I also heard it was a commitment. Once you signed into a group, you were responsible for attending. A demanding job with sometimes late hours, and later raising a family (will lots of late hours!) made me shy away from any commitment of my free time.
Also, even though I'm a big game person, the rules were a bit overwhelming for me (didn't know at the time that each group plays their own version...).
One day I was discussing it with some other girls in the neighborhood, and we agreed that it might be fun to schedule a regular girls night out. One of us had played in a regular group before, so she became our "bunco guru".
The next issue was the commitment of attending. That was a tough one.
You see, many of those interested were moms to small children, and it is hard to commit to anything with little ones running around (if you've been there, you know what I mean.)
We decided to adapt the rules so that we could play with whoever showed up.
Sometimes, if we don't have 8, 12, or 16, or whatever multiple of 4 we are trying to make, we play with a ghost. Other times, we play with extra people and take turns "rotating" out. Sometimes a few play, while a few just hang out.
It has been a great success for us!!
So...
