About the game
Darts is an aiming game: throw darts at a numbered board to accumulate points. Precision and a steady hand beat power.
How to play
Aim at the board and throw; the score depends on which ring and number you hit. Some modes count down from a target to exactly zero.
Tips & strategy
['Aim for the 20 segment or the bullseye for points.', "In '501' mode, set up an out-shot to finish exactly.", 'Focus on a consistent release.']
Advanced guide
Darts is about repeatable accuracy. In 501, work backward: know your checkout combinations so you can finish on a double. Otherwise, favor the 20 wedge for raw points but prioritize hitting your intended segment every time over chasing the bullseye.
History & origins
Darts evolved from medieval throwing games into a pub sport with standard numbered boards.
