Dart Game

Description

Simple Dart Game Rules: 501 Points

Scoring

• Single Ring: The number on the board.
• Double Ring: The number on the board multiplied by 2.
• Triple Ring: The number on the board multiplied by 3.
• Bullseye:
  • Inner Bull (Red): 50 points
  • Outer Bull (Green): 25 points

Game Setup

1. Starting the Game:
   • Players decide the order of play by throwing a single dart at the bullseye. The player whose dart lands closest to the bullseye goes first.
   • Alternatively, players can flip a coin to determine who goes first.
2. Turns:
   • Each player takes turns throwing three darts.
   • After each turn, the score is recorded and subtracted from the player’s current total.

Gameplay

1. Reducing the Score:
   • Players aim to reduce their score from 501 to zero by hitting the board with their darts.
   • The score for each throw is added together and then subtracted from the player’s current total.
2. Busting:
   • If a player’s score would go below zero or if the exact score needed to win is not achieved with a double, the turn is considered a “bust.” The player’s score reverts to what it was at the beginning of the turn.
3. Winning the Game:
   • To win, a player must reduce their score to exactly zero and finish on a double (either the double ring or the outer bullseye).
   • For example, if a player has 20 points left, they must hit the double 10 (20 points) to win.
