Rules For High Score

 

High Score: This is a VERY simple game for any number of players. It is very popular among soft-tipped dart players. It is also one of the few games in this list that may be played on an electronic board.

The Object: To be the first to reach a predetermined score, usually 1000.

The Scoring: Players' names are written across the top of the board in order and the board is divided into columns for each player's score. Order is usually determined by each player throwing one dart at bullseye; closest to the bullseye throws first, furthest throws last.

The Play: Each player takes turns trying to score the highest points with three darts. The thin outer "doubles" ring counts as two times the number hit and the thin inner "triples" ring counts as three times the number hit.

Play begins at zero and the total of the player's three darts is added to the previous total each round. First player to reach the target score wins the game.

NOTE: The score does not have to end on exactly the target score as it does in x01.

Strategy: Shoot lots of triple-20's or triple-19's.
