Hello Bunco Player! Finally a Bunco App that is fully featured and easy to use. No silly and annoying graphics. This allows you to focus on the socializing and the fun! One low price includes all the features and removes our need for ads. No personal data is collected. Did someone forget to bring the dice and game pads? Don’t worry…with this app, you can play anytime, anywhere, and with anyone! Bunco rules vary by community; however, this App will roll the dice, update the score, count the Wins/Losses/Buncos/MiniBuncos, and allow the Head Table to "ring" the bell! Buncos (3 dice match the Target Dice) = 21 points. Mini-Buncos (3 dice match each other) = 5 points Match the Target Dice = 1 point each. Each player uses their own device/app...although a team of two can share. This app features many customization and game options to tailor the game to your specific needs. -Enter a Custom Title. -Enable various Sound Options. -Specify the Number of Games. -Choose from a variety of Game Colors. This app supports 1-6 Games with each game consisting of all 6 Target Dice. In the Game Tab, be sure to select the desired Target Dice and Game Number using the Green Buttons. This will highlight the Active Score in WHITE. The Active Score will automatically update. To mark a game as a WIN or LOSS, simply press (and repress) any score to turn it Green (Win), Red (Loss), Black (None), or back again. The Head Table can ring the bell by selecting the Bell button once a game reaches 21 (or other?) points. To clear and erase the entire Score Sheet, select the Trash Can button. A simple design ensures that players of all ages can join the fun. This game can be a new holiday tradition for your friends and family! Enjoy! Margaret from MKE Things, LLC
