Bunco Club Pack
For the serious bunco group organizer. Four printables that turn a once-a-year party into a year-round bunco club: roster + subs, hosting calendar, winners log, and tonight's sign-in. Plus a how-to-start guide for brand-new clubs.

Bunco rotation tracker: who moves where after each round
The single bunco hosting headache nobody else solves: "after each round, who moves where?" One sheet maps all 12 players across all 24 rounds. Host marks each player's table (1, 2, or 3) as the night progresses. Visual rotation diagram + rules at the bottom of the sheet so anyone glancing at it can see who goes where.
How to start a bunco club in five steps
Starting a bunco club, frequently asked
How much should we charge per night?
Most bunco groups collect $5–$10 per player per night. The pot becomes the prize money — usually split into prizes for Most Wins, Most BUNCOs, Most Baby BUNCOs, and a consolation Most Losses. Some clubs hold a portion back for an end-of-year prize pool.
What if someone can't make it?
That's what the substitute list is for. Aim for at least 6–8 subs so a single missing regular never cancels the night. The roster + subs list above keeps everyone's contact info in one place — text the group when you need a sub and the first one to reply gets the spot.
Should we have an annual prize?
Many clubs do — the Bunco Winners Log tracks each month's champions across the year, and the Year-End Champions row at the bottom captures the season totals. Common annual prizes: Most Wins of the Year, Most BUNCOs of the Year, Most Baby BUNCOs, and the Final Traveler Holder.
How do we welcome a new member?
First night: hand them a printed copy of the rules sheet and walk them through the score card and table tally. Add them to the roster on the spot. The themed kits at /bunco/themed/ are great for newcomer nights — a halloween or christmas kit gives the night a festive hook beyond the dice.
What food should the host serve?
Bunco food doesn't need to be fancy — finger foods that don't make hands greasy are best (you're constantly handling dice). Cheese boards, bruschetta, mini quiches, dips and crackers, fruit, M&Ms. Many groups rotate: dinner, appetizers, or desserts and cocktails depending on the meeting time. A potluck signup can spread the load.
What attendance rules should a bunco club set?
Three cover almost every group: RSVP by a set day (usually two days before) so the host knows whether to call a sub; a member who cancels finds their own substitute from the subs list; and a no-show still owes the night's dues. Write them on the rules sheet and hand it out on the first night so nobody hears them for the first time during an argument.
How do we keep the group going long-term?
Two things: pick a single "organizer" who owns the calendar and roster (avoids the diffusion-of-responsibility problem), and use the Yearly Calendar to lock in 12 dates at the first meeting of the year. Once it's on everyone's calendar, attendance is automatic.
