Darts

I got a dart board on my porch and I find myself playing it on the weekends, or whenever the weather is nice. Over the past year I've gone from being able to barely make 2 of 3 darts on the board to getting all 3 darts pretty darn close to the bullseye.

My friends and I play 'cricket' which is where you have to hit the 10 - 15 sections three times each and the bullseye. Does anyone else play darts? If so, what games do you play?

Three darts close to the bullseye? How about you try for the treble 20?

What does that mean? I dont know too many people in person that actually play, so my knowledge of games is limited. But I'm always down to learn a new dart game. Drinking games ftw!

The treble 20 is the small red box on the 20... This is how you should play it:

Cool, thanks. I like to play is bars too, but it's not that popular here in the US so not a lot of bars (in my area) have dart boards.

I like watching pro darts on FSN. How those guys get the darts to land right where they want them is just about beyond me.

I didnt know they showed Darts on TV!>?!

Well I guess it makes sense with poker and billiards. Maybe they should just make Bar Sports channel and put all that and darts on it. And shuffleboard (the bar kind, not the cruise ship kind).

Cricket here. Great game. I got a electronic dart board. I wanted nice horse hair but don't want holes in my drywall.

I just mounted a sheet of plywood on the wall and attached the board to that. Give it a try!
