1.BUNCO
Bunco is a dice game where you need nine board game dice and a lot of luck. Typically, 12 people play Bunco, and those 12 people divided into teams of four. More or fewer players can join, but the total number of people playing the game must be divisible by four in order to play the game.
How to Play
Players must try to roll a number that corresponds to the round they are currently playing. For example, if a player’s score reaches around 3, then they should try to roll three 3s. Similarly, in the 5th round, players need to roll five 5s. Every time someone successfully rolls the dice, this is called a Bunco. When there is a Bunco, one point is awarded for each Bunco claimed. The winning team is the team with the most points at the end of the game.
2.Mexico
Mexico is another fun dice game with simple dynamics. The game uses two dice to roll, and each player given an extra dice. The dice will determine how many lives each player will have after each round, so it will start at 6 and run out accordingly. After each game, the lowest dice roll will be considered a loss, so that particular player will lose a life. The winner of Mexico is the player who is still standing after all players have rolled their dice and lost lives.
