Otherwise, you might want to consider spending a little money on a digital scoreboard like the best-selling Viper ProScore. Since requires a lot of math work, getting a digital device saves you the taxing chore of working it all out in your head or wasting time with a calculator.
This line can be anything from a simple line painted or chalked onto the floor, to an actual object such as a piece of wood. Whoever lands closest to the bullseye goes first.
What happens next depends on how strict you are about sticking with the classic set-up. Each player starts the game with points and reduces their score according to the number of points they gain by throwing darts at the board. The number of the section where the dart lands determines how many points are awarded.
So if you landed one dart on 20, another on 5, and a third on 10, your total score for that turn would be In the official version of , an extra challenge comes into play as the game reaches its final stages. For example, if you were only 10 points away from winning the game, you would have to score those points by throwing a double five. Landing the dart in the smaller red or green ring on the outside of that section earns you double the number of points for that section while landing your dart in the inner ring lands you triple the number of points.
The aim of is to finish on exactly zero. So, If you score more points than you need to finish the game, none of the points from that turn will count. For example, say you need 36 points to win.
A score of is called a "ton" and is written on the board as a "T". Scores over are called "ton" plus the rest that was thrown. For example a score of would be called "a ton twenty" and would be written on the board " 2 T 0 ". The Play: Both players or one player from each team throw one dart each at the bulls-eye. The closest to the bulls-eye gets to throw first. Typically this player also names the game to be played.
The initials of the players are written above each column of the scoreboard with the winner of the bulls-eye on the left. If the game was called as a straight-in game, the first player winner of the bulls-eye begins by throwing three darts trying to attain the highest score possible.
Each dart is scored by the number where it lands with the thin inner ring being worth 3 times the number indicated and the thin outer ring worth 2 times the number indicated while the two large sections score exactly the number indicated. Thus the highest attainable score with three darts is by hitting three triple 20's. If the game was called as a double-in game, the first player must hit any double on the board before they may begin counting their score.
For example if the player threw a single 20, a double 20 and a single 20 the score would be 60 points. The first dart did not count because the player had not yet hit a double so only the second and third darts did count.
Once a player has "gotten in" subsequent rounds do not require a double be thrown again. Play continues alternating the players on each side of the board. When the scores get low the player starts to need to think about how they are going to get "out". The exact number a player should start to think about this varies with ability.
If the batting player scores 58, 18 points runs are added to that players score. Otherwise the batting player scores nothing. The opposing player is deemed to be bowling and this player aims only at the bullseye. The bowling player scores 2 wickets for the bullseye and 1 wicket for the 25 ring. Players take turns until the bowling player throws a dart that scores the 10th wicket.
At that point, the roles are reversed and the other player has an "innings" turn to bat. The game should end when both players have played two innings each at which point the player with the highest score has won the match. If the batting player should land a dart in the bullseye or 25 ring, the batting player loses a wicket or two accordingly. If the bowling player throws a dart which does not land in the board, 20 "extras" are awarded to the batting side.
For less skilled players, the game can be made easier in a variety of ways. Here are some suggestions: Each innings consists of less wickets e. The target for a wicket can be changed to be the segments 16, 17, 18, 19 and The batting players scores the absolute amount each turn rather than the amount beyond Killer This is the most popular game for large groups and is good swift fun. There are variations but this is the basic game. To begin, an order of play is decided, and each player throws one dart 'bad-handed' left-handed players throw right-handed and vice-versa at the board to decide their number.
Obviously, if a dart misses or hits a number that is already allocated, the player retries. Each player is allocated a set number of lives usually 5 and is generally required to put a small stake into a pot. It is a good tactic to avoid being adjacent to somebody elses number. Players start by taking turns to aim at their allocated number, scoring a life for each dart that hits it, 2 lives for a double and 3 lives for a treble. Once a player has scored 5 lives, that player is a 'killer' until somebody else deducts one or more lives from his score.
For instance, if a player is on 4 lives and hits a treble of his number, the first of the 3 lives scored takes the player to 5 but the remaining 2 lives are deducted - so the end result is a score of 3 lives. Once a player is a killer, they aim at any of the other player's numbers. Each time they do, the appropriate number of lives is deducted from the victimised player's score.
When a player is reduced to below 0, that player is out of the game. For instance if a player has 1 life and a killer hits that player's number's double, that player's score is reduced to -1 and he is out of the game. The final player left in the game is the winner and collects the pot.
