Dart games have been around for centuries and have evolved into a variety of different styles and variations. From traditional pub games to modern electronic versions, there is a dart game for everyone. Here are a few of the most popular dart games that you should try out.
501
This is the most common dart game played in pubs and bars around the world. Players start with a score of 501 and take turns throwing three darts at the board. The goal is to reduce your score to zero by hitting the numbered segments on the board. The catch is that you must hit a double to start and finish the game, meaning that you have to land your dart in the outer ring of the board.
Cricket
This game is similar to 501, but instead of trying to reach zero, players try to hit specific targets on the board. The targets are the numbers 20 through 15 and the bullseye. The first player to hit each of these targets three times is declared the winner. The catch is that you must hit a double or triple to count as a hit, and any hits made by your opponent do not count towards your score.
Around the Clock
This game is a great way to improve your accuracy on the dartboard. Players take turns throwing one dart at each number on the board, starting with 1 and working their way up to 20. The goal is to hit each number in order and finish with the bullseye. If you miss a number, you must continue throwing until you hit it before moving on to the next number.
Killer
This game is played with multiple players and has a bit of a twist. Each player chooses a number on the board to be their target. The goal is to hit your target number five times before any other player does. However, if another player hits your target number, you are “killed” and must start over at zero.
These are just a few of the many dart games that you can play. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, there is a dart game out there that will challenge and entertain you. So, grab your darts and get ready to have some fun!
