Bunco blast

My mom has talked about the Bunco parties she and her friends have for years. I have never played. I actually looked online on where to buy the game... little did I know! What I did find were HUNDREDS of sites with their own Bunco rules and clubs for playing. (for those of you also ignorant in the world of Bunco, its a basically a game of dice rolling - no game board or anything like that). It seems that Bunco has become a huge phenomena, particularly with women.

For a Bridge Ladies Night Out event I suggested we have a game night with Bunco. Fortunately, my friend Joanne is much experienced with this game, and she was both hostess with the most-ess AND our Bunco teacher. It was fun! Basically, a no-skill game but great for socializing. Since we planned the event in advance, we had decided to have a coffee-house theme for the food. (ALL women's events revolve around food. And, true to all women's events we have, there was more food there than could possibly be eaten.) The only problem was that yesterday was a smoldering 100 degrees here and NO ONE drank any coffee! Ha!

It was a great time to connect with some women relatively new to our church. And, we have had many requests to have another Bunco night soon. Honestly, I think any activity is fun when you get a bunch of women together!
