What is Bunko
I was asked this question the other day. But the question was asked as bunko … bunco. A hard “k” not a fluent sounding of the game that I was used to. I was curious to see a lot of people searching at this version of the spelling. I was unable to find anything internet related to this type of spelling. Not sure if this was a southern version of “what is bunko” or a northern version of “what is bunko”. Anyway doesn’t matter. Bunko or Bunco is a popular drinking game that is more social evening than a game of skill. The game is played with dice and there are three tables of 4 players. Players keep rolling the dice until they “bunco” or “bunko” then the round stops. The winners move up and the losers move down. At the end of the night the player with the most wins. Wins. Like I said though this is a complete game of chance. Most ladies talk about what is going on in the neighborhood or their families while rolling dice and passing the cup to the next player until there is a bunco. Now you know what is bunko!
