Throwing small weighted darts at a numbered circular board, aiming for precision and high scores — a classic pub game that rewards focus, steady hands, and friendly rivalry.

The Essentials

How to play

  1. Stand behind the throw line (oche), about 2.37 m from the board, and each player throws 3 darts per turn.
  2. In the classic game 501, both players start at 501 points and subtract the score of each dart thrown.
  3. The board is scored by zone — outer ring doubles the segment value, inner ring triples it, and the two center rings are the outer bull (25) and bullseye (50).
  4. Keep a running total after every turn, subtracting each dart's score from your remaining points.
  5. You must finish on a double (including the bullseye), landing exactly on zero — going below zero or hitting one point busts your turn and your score resets to what it was at the start of that turn.
  6. The first player to reduce their score to exactly zero with a valid double-out wins the leg.
