Bunco and Birthdays

Don’t be surprised if you don’t know what Bunco is. If you’re a man or a woman who is under 50, you probably have never played. I was lucky enough to get invited to a game this weekend with my sister Rachel.

It starts with about a dozen women driving out to a very secluded hideaway off the main traffic route. Each woman brings $15 dollars and one or two bottles of wine. We then start throwing dice. You can read all the instructions if you want, but the game is basically throwing 3 dice trying to get one predetermined number. Rachel taught me early, that the trick is to throw one dice at a time then use the other two dice to knock the first one. That way you actually roll multiple times on the same dice.

Needless to say once you start the dice and wine go quickly and the night was a blur of fun. It was also great that Rachel walked away the big winner with $100 in gift cards and I doubled my money. I don’t think they will ask us back as substitutes any time soon.

It was also K’s Birthday. Happy Birthday Princess!
