Tonight after work is "Bunco For Breast Cancer", and thanks to one of our patients whom is a famous local artist and man of many talents (with a feminine side, lol) designed some really cute shirts our office staff and he even signed them. He was so proud to bring our shirts by the office, he could not wait to show off his work. The picture above is the image that he designed for our shirts to wear to Bunko For Breast Cancer.
I have never played Bunco, so I am a little interested to see what it's all about. I do know
Strictly speaking, Bunco is a game of dice, played in rounds. Players take turns rolling the dice and trying to accumulate as many points as possible to win each round. The game is played at tables of four in competing teams of two. Players score points by rolling three dice and trying to match the number they're supposed to roll for that round. They get a point for each die that rolls the number, and if all three roll the number they score 21 points. They also score 5 points for rolling three of a kind of any other number. They get to keep rolling as long as they score one or more points with each roll. Once they fail to score they pass the dice to their left and the opposing team gets a chance to score.
During each round the teams at the Head Table try to score 21 points. The first team to score 21 points wins the round and play stops. At all other tables play stops when the Head Table play stops and the team with the highest score at each lower table wins the round.
At the end of the round players change seats, the winners at each of the lower tables move up a table, and the losers at the head table move to the lowest table. Players also switch partners at the end of the round, so you never play with the same partner twice in a row.
During play, players track the number of rounds they win and lose as a team, and the number of Buncos scored individually, on their personal scorecard. At the end of the night wins/losses and Buncos are tallied and prizes awarded.
I won't be able to stay the entire time, nor do I want to. We don't have a lot planned for this weekend, but enough to keep us busy. Hopefully, the woman that purchased my Dining Room table will come and pick it up. I sold it to her almost four months ago. She paid for it , but did not have a place to store it at the time. I need the space for my new Dining Table and Hutch.
Lately, I'm not so excited about decorating anymore. I'm sure that I will once we move into the new house. I did purchase a new Patio Set yesterday and a bed for Adicyn's new room. I bought them from a friend whom just sold her home a few houses down from us. I have never been attached to this house anyway, It;s cute, but it's the smallest that I have ever lived in and it has the smallest lot. I can't wait to have a large home again, with plenty of space for everyone and everything!
