Doubles & Trebles - Hit a double jump ahead one number, hit a triple score area jump ahead two numbers.Ī player must hit a 'double' before any score is counted. If playing with bull's-eye at the end, you give the person trailing a better chance to catch up. If playing with the bull's-eye in the beginning, the first person to hit the bull's-eye has a chance to get a serious head start. Variations: Plus Bull's-eye - Either make the bull's-eye the first thing you need to hit or the last. A perfect turn would advance you three numbers. Hitting double and triples counts but just a single score. A player must hit the numbers 1-20, in sequence before your opponent. The game uses all the numbers on the board, which makes it especially good for beginners. Round the world or round the clock is a fun game for all skill levels. The score earned by any dart that sticks in the target is based on the point of entry within the wire divisions and not the colour. If a dart sticks in another dart, it counts as a throw but gets no score. But any dart that misses, bounces off or falls from the board, earns no score. Each dart thrown counts against the three in the player's turn.
