How to play
X01 (501, 301, 701) · the standard pub game
Each player starts on the chosen score (501 most common). Take it in turns to throw three darts. Whatever you score is subtracted from your remaining total. First to land exactly on zero wins the leg.
- Double out: your last dart must land in a double (the thin outer ring) or the bullseye (which counts as double 25). If your visit takes you below 2, exactly to 1, or to 0 without a double, you "bust" and the score reverts to where you started the visit.
- Master out: the last dart can be a double or a treble.
- Straight out: any segment finishes. Friendliest for beginners.
- Match format: best of N legs. First to win a majority takes the match.
Cricket · closing numbers and scoring
Targets are 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and the bull. Each player tries to "close" all seven by hitting three marks on each (a single = 1 mark, double = 2, treble = 3).
- Once you have closed a target, any further marks on it score points equal to the number value (so an extra treble 20 after closing scores 60 points).
- Scoring stops on a target the moment your opponent also closes it.
- To win: close every target AND have at least as many points as your opponent.
- Bull: single bull (outer) = 1 mark, bullseye (inner) = 2 marks. Three bulls in total closes it.
Around the clock · hit 1 to 20 in order
Take it in turns to throw three darts. Start aiming for 1, then 2, then 3, all the way to 20, then finish on the bull. First player to clear the board wins.
- Singles only: any hit on the current number advances you.
- Doubles only: only doubles count. Much tougher.
- Trebles only: trebles only. Bullseye finishes the bull (you cannot triple a bull).
- Great solo practice. Multiplayer is a straight race.
Killer · party game, 2 to 8 players
Each player is assigned a number (1, 2, 3 and so on by default). The aim is to be the last player with lives remaining.
- Open: hit a single of your own number to be in the game.
- Become a killer: hit a double of your own number. Now you can attack.
- Attack: hit another player's number to take their lives. Single = 1 life, double = 2, treble = 3.
- Self-strike: a killer who hits their own number loses that many lives too. Be careful.
- Players start with 5 lives by default (configurable 3 or 7). Last one standing wins.
Common terms
- Visit: one player's turn of up to three darts.
- Leg: one game of 501 (or whatever start score). A match is best of several legs.
- Bust: a visit that ends impossibly (e.g. takes you below zero in X01). Score reverts.
- Treble (T): the thin inner ring. T20 = 60.
- Double (D): the thin outer ring. D20 = 40. The bullseye is also a double (D25).
- 180: three trebles of 20 in one visit. The maximum.
- Checkout: the finishing visit. The biggest possible checkout is 170, thrown as T20, T20, bullseye.
