GAME DESCRIPTIONS:

BUNCO

Bunco is a dice game generally played with twelve or more players, divided into groups of four, trying to score points while taking turns rolling three dice in a series of six rounds. A bunco is achieved when a person rolls three-of-a-kind and all three numbers match the round number.

CRIBBAGE

Cribbage, or crib, is a card game, traditionally for two players, that involves playing and grouping cards in combinations which gain points. It can be adapted for three or four players. 15–30 min

BEAN BAGS / CORNHOLE

 Bean Bags or Cornhole is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called platforms and bean bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching their bean bags at the platform until a team reaches the score of 21 points.

MEXICAN TRAIN

Mexican Train is a game played with dominoes. The object of the game is for a player to play all the tiles from his or her hand onto one or more chains, or trains, emanating from a central hub or "station". The game's most popular name comes from a special optional train that belongs to all players.

MAHJONG

The goal of mahjong is similar to poker, in that the aim is to make matching sets and pairs. A set is three or four identical tiles or three consecutive tiles (also known as 'melds'), and a pair is two of the same tiles (often called 'eyes'). To win mahjong a player must form four sets and one pair.
