Dart games are skill-based activities that involve throwing small, pointed projectiles (darts) at a circular target board. These games test precision, focus, and hand-eye coordination, often played in casual settings, pubs, or competitive tournaments. While traditional dart games use physical boards and metal-tipped darts, modern variations include electronic versions and digital adaptations that simulate the experience. The core objective typically revolves around scoring points by landing darts in specific numbered sections or achieving predefined goals.
• 501: A classic competitive game where players start at 501 points and subtract scores until reaching exactly zero. The first to do so wins.
• Cricket: A strategic game focusing on "closing" numbers (15–20 and bullseye) while accumulating points. Players must hit specific targets to score.
• Around the Clock: A beginner-friendly game requiring players to hit numbers 1 through 20 in sequence, testing consistency and accuracy.
What is the standard distance for throwing darts?
The official throwing distance is 7 feet 9.25 inches (2.37 meters) from the dartboard’s face to the oche.
Do dart games require special equipment?
Yes, basic equipment includes a dartboard, darts (metal or soft-tip depending on the board type), and a safe playing area.
Can dart games be played solo?
Yes! Many games, like Around the Clock or practice modes in electronic versions, allow solo players to improve skills or track progress.
