Darts Game 101

Darts was believed to have originated from soldiers who first started throwing short arrows under the cask or below trunk of trees. After the wood has dried up, cracks formed sections on the wood. It did not take long before regional standards were formed, and woodworkers made dart boards and started putting them on local bars and clubs .

One of the first standards used was created in 1896 by Lancashire carpenter Brian Gamlin with a 20 on top. Over time, many configurations were created and released in different areas of the globe.

One of the most well-known Darts game in and around the world is '01 - a game that is played by almost every nationality and race. It is referred to as such because it is involves a particular number of points that always ends in the numbers "01".

The aim of the game is just easy breezy. Each players have the same score at the very beginning of the game and the first person to lower his score until it reaches zero is declared the winner.

All the players have three darts each. They will then take turns throwing the darts and deduct all points scored from the score they had at the very start. After each turn, the player has to and mark his score and get the darts he has thrown , then he has to make way for the next player. Those darts that don't reach the board and bounce off are not counted as scores and cannot be thrown again during that turn. When you follow all these then, you already are playing darts.

Sounds real easy right? However, you have to think about that again. Darts also has a challenging part. This hard part of the game is actually the process of reaching the end of the game. In darts, winning is not achieved by simply being able to hit the center target. To win, you must be the first one to reach zero. However, this zero is not the ordinary zero. It is the exact zero, and the dart that brings the score down to zero must be a double. Doubles are made up of the numbers in the outside narrow scoring band and the centre bull's eye which amounts to 50 points and is an actual double of the outer 25-point bull.
