How to play Darts
Throw three darts per turn at a standard dartboard (20 at the top, then 1, 18, 4, 13, 6, 10, 15, 2, 17, 3, 19, 7, 16, 8, 11, 14, 9, 12, 5 clockwise).
Controls
- Mouse: move to aim, click to throw.
- Touch: press and drag — the aiming ring sits above your finger so you can see it — and lift to throw.
- Keyboard: arrow keys aim (hold Shift for fine moves), Space throws.
- Your hand wobbles: watch the ring drift and release when it passes over your target.
501 / 301 (double out)
- Each player starts on 501 (or 301) and subtracts every dart's score. The narrow outer ring scores double, the inner ring triple; the outer bull is 25, the bullseye 50 (it counts as a double).
- You must finish on exactly zero, and the last dart must be a double. Going below zero, leaving 1, or reaching zero without a double is a bust: the turn's score is cancelled.
- When you can finish, a suggested checkout is shown.
Around the Clock
Hit 1, 2, 3 … 20 in order (any single, double or triple counts) and finish with the bull. Try to do it in as few darts as possible — your best is saved.
