BUNCO - A Dice Game For All - Let's Play!

[@calvinsweet3400]

I loved watching your grandmother! She was phenomenal! Then I searched "how to play bunco" and landed on this video. Now I'll have to watch more.

[@Play-In-Games]

Thank you! Nana just loved Bunco, she had whole notebooks full of played games with us and from solo games. I got her hooked on Pass the Pigs which became her second favorite “dice game.” Lots of great memories! Thanks for watching.

[@JenniferYoung-f1x]

Same!!!

[@anxz272]

@@Play-In-GamesSame here! I loved her videos, and I’m so glad I happened to find your channel. Thanks for the fun videos!

[@stephiw3617]

Awww!! I didn't know you are Ms. Clara's grandson!! I was searching for Bunco rules and came across this video. I love her cooking videos! She is such an inspiration, and her legacy lives on with the amazing videos and cookbook! Big hugs to you and your family. ❤

[@Play-In-Games]

Thank you so much. She and I played endless games of Bunco and Scopa, so it’s been nice to share a bit more of her magic here. Thanks for the kind words!

[@stephiw3617]

My own 98 year old Grandma just passed a few days ago. Our hearts are heavy with grief, but we will cherish the many wonderful memories we have of her. ❤ hugs.

[@user-fl6ko9do5y]

Hey thanks!! I had already loved your Nana for years (i found her channel on happenstance), and now just found this because someone asked me to a bunco game.......I'd never played it, but I had heard about it somewhere.....now I know it was from Clara's youtube channel! She is such a beautiful woman and I feel like I wish she was my Nana too. You are so blessed, and thank you to both of your for such great shares. May God continue to Bless your whole family 💗💓💕

[@Play-In-Games]

Thanks!

[@anitanalley2417]

Same story for me!

[@MustardS33d]

Your story of playing the game, even over the phone, with your grandma was absolutely precious.

[@sherifloridagirl9693]

Your Nana is adorable. She might have known my grandma, she also lived in Chicago. Going to my first Bunco game tonight. It should be fun. Thanks for the tips!!!

[@Play-In-Games]

Good luck!

[@shannonbanks542]

That your grandmother would call you and say you beat her at solitaire Bunco just warmed my heart! What a sweet memory! Thanks for the lesson! I'm going to a Bunco party next weekend and I've never played before so this was very helpful!

[@Play-In-Games]

Yes, it's really a happy memory. Good luck at the Bunco meet up. Be warned they can get a bit chaotic, but you should have the basics down!

[@bencallaghan8266]

This is the kind of content I need more of in my lonely life. Cool! So awesome and with the sauce, so awesome!

[@Play-In-Games]

Thank you! 🙏

[@dillardalarmcompany]

Great Explanation, thank you!

[@Play-In-Games]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@awallace1218]

Very helpful

[@chitchat7760]

Oh my goodness! The yellow cart shown at 2:57 is almost like the one we have! That one looks like the 4 corner posts are silver. Ours are white. 😅

[@christopherhennessy6538]

Awesome that you included the PDF score sheet! It would be great if you could create one for your Scopa video, maybe make it modifiable to add/delete rules based on region/family tradition

[@Play-In-Games]

Hmm. Perhaps 🤔

[@beckycarter8877]

Very easy instructions

[@Play-In-Games]

Thanks!

[@4tarsus]

@1:41 - How do you get all three dice on same number? Jedi mind trick? CGI? Special Nana dice?

[@Play-In-Games]

Definitely some Nana magic and lots of tries

[@rekha.sarav.2010]

I don’t see a link for the printable score sheet Can you tell me where it is?

[@Play-In-Games]

Just click on the google drive link in the description

[@orangestripes_yt124]

Thanks Im the same person but in my own account

[@gloriajohnson8258]

In the casual way do you just not switch tables? The table switching is the part that has been confused because the score sheet then is confusing.

[@Play-In-Games]

Correct! No switching tables when playing for fun. You'll likely be playing with a smaller group, so one table should suffice.

[@JeannaHelgesen]

How do I get your PDF of the bunco sheet

[@Play-In-Games]

Feel free to follow the link in the description

[@coffeetoad2237]

Love simple and quick games, I’m sure this will be a hit. Also I think I see sushi go! in the corner of some shots

[@Play-In-Games]

Thanks! Should I review Sushi Go? It’s a favorite with our family to be sure.

[@coffeetoad2237]

@@Play-In-Games for some reason mine has excuse every time I pull it out lol

[@sandrabailey9589]

I grew up in Chicago. I well remember those card tables squeezed into our front room with women screaming Bunco in a frenzy. 😊

[@kierenmarr1156]

@Play-In-Games just to confirm, you keep rolling on your turn until you dont roll the number of the round? And you win the round by having the highest points for that round?

[@Play-In-Games]

Yes that’s fairly close. You can also continue rolling if you get triples of another number. In terms of ending a round it’s the first person to roll 21 or more points who ends the round as the winner.

[@dianab6852]

How many times do you roll ?

[@FastEddy1959]

No set number. Roll until you don’t get at least one of the target number*, or until you score 21 (instant win!). *- if you roll three of a kind that are not the target number, you score 5 and your turn continues.

[@Swamp_Thing_4487]

So kinda like the game I play called run for it, using six dice

[@vominator]

If you "win instantly" with 21 pts...why do you keep rolling?

[@Play-In-Games]

see @2:20

[@janethenson2217]

I cannot see the pdf score sheet.

[@Play-In-Games]

Oh no! The link seems to work for me. Don’t believe you need to have a Gmail account to access the google drive links, but I’ll look into it.

[@rafa57games]

If it's a game of pure luck, why there are so many tournaments of it?

[@Play-In-Games]

Great question. I suppose for the same reasons as there are so many Bingo tournaments; fund raising, social gathering and the thrill of winning, even if it’s by shear luck.

[@Bsnsobscuregames]

Well now that you covered this, you’ll have to cover Bahama Taxi.

[@Play-In-Games]

Oh really? I just don’t know it that well. What, in your opinion, makes its special? Keep up the great work on your videos!

[@Bsnsobscuregames]

@@Play-In-Games it’s free. Really the only reason to cover it. A better suggestion: any domino games played in your house not covered anywhere else?

[@gustav24-7-52]

So it's like Yahtzee for people who don't like playing dice games which are pretending to be a cards game.

[@Play-In-Games]

That's a fair call.

[@joanargilan9381]

Like Yahtzee

[@robertcarlos4046]

You're an orange

[@usaman7358]

Sounds stupid but maybe its not since it actually has a following. Still, doesn't sound like anything very special
