Darts game 2 players

Draw a noughts and crosses board of nine spaces, three by three on a scoreboard or piece of paper. In the middle square write Bulls Eye and in the other eight squares write different one dart scoring numbers i. Treble 9, small fourteen the small single scoring segment of fourteen , double two etc see example below.

The aim is for one player or team to complete a straight line of three. As with normal noughts and crosses players aim to hinder their opponents to prevent them getting three in a row. The object is to be the first to shoot "around the clock" one dart in each number from 1, clockwise, to Each player should throw one dart at bulls-eye, closest to the bulls-eye goes first and the furthest going last.

The first player tries to hit one dart into each number, in order, starting with the number 1 but the scoring target is only from the triple ring the double ring. After the 1 is hit in any of the playable area, the next target is 18 and so on, clockwise around the board. If the player's dart misses the board outside the doubles ring or bounces out, the dart is left in the board for one turn. The player throws only two darts the next turn and then may pull the lost dart for use in the next turn after that.

Now for the Prisoner part: If the player throws a dart into the area from the bullseye to the triples ring bull and double bull included , the dart is left in the board and is a "Prisoner". A prisoner dart remains in the board until any player including the player who threw the dart hits the playable area of the same number in the case of the bullseye, hitting another bullseye captures the prisoner.

If there is more than one "prisoner" dart that may be captured, they may only be captured one at a time. For example, if there are two darts in the 18 between the bulls-eye and the triples ring, two darts must be thrown into the playable area of the 18 to capture them both.

After the first "prisoner" is captured, one player now has four darts to use while the player who lost the dart has only two. By the end of the game, you might be playing with 7 darts and none of them might actually be yours!

Play continues until one player has thrown a dart in every number from 1 through 20 in the target area. The first player to do this wins the game.

The Bullseye and Outer-Bullseye are not used in this game. Players throw for the bull to decide which one starts. Once this has been done the score is added up and play reverses.

The winner is the player with the highest score. Players toss a coin to see who begins play with the winning player going first. Players start by throwing at the number 1 on the board. The object is to hit a single, treble and double in any order. This first player to hit a single, treble and double wins. If no player achieves this on number 1, the play moves to number 2 and so on until someone wins. Sometimes this game is varied by nominating different numbers to eliminate players that do not score any points on them.

Most frequently, these numbers are 5, 7, and 9 due to their difficulty. The game Shove Ha'penny is a game that has been played in British Pubs since and the traditional game is played on a polished board using coins. But like many games like this, a version has been designed for the dartboard. A variation of this darts game is not new and dates back as earlier as the s or earlier, but like Shove Ha'penny the polished board game, it is not played as often as it should. In the s Yorkshire TV broadcasted an event that would feature pub games such as darts, pool, bar billiards, table skittles, arm wrestling, table football, and Shove Ha'penny.

Darts out of all the pub games shown in this program was a clear winner with viewers, and the rest is history. In this game, the dartboard segments Numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and centre, in this case, centre and out bullseye are counted the same. The remaining segments of the dartboard are considered dead and have no scoring value. Any number of people can play the game but best played with only two-four. Each player takes in in turn to throw their three darts, the object of the game is to get three darts in each of the ten scoring segments mentioned above.

Whoever manages this feat first is the winner! First, determine who is to throw first either with a single dart nearest the bullseye or a toss of a coin.

Then list the number in a column on a chalkboard or whiteboard. Along the top, names of the players. However, unlike most dart games, the order that you achieve this feat doesn't matter. A player can throw a one, two, and six with their first throw and they all count. But the game isn't as simple as that. One stray dart could cost you the game!

To commence the game each player throws one dart, the nearest to the Bullseye has first shot the break. The player breaking then must throw a number between 1 - 15 inclusive this is counted as a red ball if he cannot throw a number between 1 - 15 the next player has a turn.

If the player is successful in throwing a number between 1 - 15 he scores one point, he must then shoot for a coloured ball, numbered between 16 - Bullseye.

After scoring a red ball 1 point he must then nominate the number colour he is shooting for and throw that number, after hitting that number he must then throw another number between 1 - 15 excluding the first dart scored.

If he is successful he then nominates another colour and shoots for that colour. If the player hits another colour and not the one nominated, it is a four point penalty to his opponent, if he hits the blue, pink, black the penalty is the face value of that colour.

If a player is shooting for a red ball and hits a colour ball it is a four point penalty or face value of the colour hit. If a player is shooting for a nominated colour and hits a red ball, it is counted as a miss and no penalty points are given.

Each time a red ball 1 - 15 is hit its removed from the scoreboard and no longer in the game. If a red ball is hit while going for a coloured bail it remains in the game. Each time a coloured ball is hit and there are still red balls remaining on the scoreboard, this ball stays in the game.

When all 15 red balls are hit; you must then proceed in hitting the coloured balls in order of points as shown on chart as these balls get hit they are removed from the game. Each time a coloured ball is hit out of order a penalty of 4 points is given or face value. If a player throws a dart outside the doubles circle, and stays in the board it is counted as a miss and no penalty points are given. If a player throws a dart and it falls from the board it is a 4 point penalty.

Doubles and triples are counted as single numbers. On the 2nd dart the player throws 7 this number is no longer in the game, he receives a total of 1 point for the number hit. There is no penalty for hitting the 7 because it is no longer in the game, the next player then has a turn On the 3rd dart the player throws 20 while going for a red ball, he receives 6 points for the numbers hit, and loses 6 points for hitting the pink ball out of turn, the six points being face value he receives a total of 0 points, the number 6 is taken from the game and the next player takes a turn.

This game is a quick very simple to play. Each player has three darts to score as much as they can. The scores are recorded and the lowest scoring player is eliminated. The remaining players throw again and the lowest scoring player is then eliminated.

You continue to play until there is only one player remaining who is declared the winner. If there are only five players you can consider having two round each. Player one then throws their second set of three darts and this is added to their first throw. When all players have thrown twice and their scores total scores counted the player with the lowest score is then eliminated.

Another variation, again only used if there are a small number of players, is to give each player 3 lives. The played as before and the loser of each round loses a life. When they have lost all their lives, they are then eliminated.

The winner as before is the last player standing. What is or was a Preston Dartboard I hear you say? However, for those who can remember it was just a clay dartboard of a London, Clock design.

Like the Manchester dartboard rules, hitting a double of a number while travelling around the board can promote you to the number higher than you have just hit.

Example: Should you require the number seven and hit a double seven 14 you jump to the number 15 however, hitting a double 15 cannot promote you any further because the highest number on the board is Trebles and bullseyes are meaningless in this game. Agree on the ruling here before you play! The winner is the first to go around the dartboard twice and then hit two double 20s! Each player throws a dart at the bullseye. The points are won by:.

Before we start, we must accentuate that darts rules must however, be obeyed. Comfortable when being on stands and aiming towards the darts board. At that moment, your aiming hand should be close to your body, and you need to be still. The goal is as little movement as you can, so the dart would land on the right spot.

The hand in which you hold your remaining darts should be calm and relaxed as well, a too tight grip can bring tension to the whole body and thus affect the outcome of the game. When throwing a dart, be sure to put your throwing hand under the 90 degrees position, so your pitch would be more or less under your chin.

In that way, your aiming will be just where it needs to be to hit the darts board perfectly. Another important thing is concentration.

The last but probably most important thing when it comes to any game, and dart boards games are no exception is fun.

You got to have fun. It all comes from having real fun and being at ease. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Table of Contents. How To Play Darts. Darts rules. The Most Popular Darts Dames. How to play Cricket Darts? How to play and darts game.
