Disadvantages: Potentially dangerous

Darts is one of those sports, which you don't think of as a sport. You think of it as the game you always play at the pub with a pint of beer. However, darts is featured on TV with the championships and there really is a skill to playing it.

The darts board is attached to the wall so that the bulls-eye is 1.73 metres away from where you are standing on the ground. There are different games you can play and you can even make up your own such as taking turns to hit each number numerically until you get to 20.

The standard game is simply a competition to get from 501/301 to zero exactly by hitting sections on the board, which are worth different points. There are numbers round the side, indicating the number of points for that arc. The arcs are split with smaller sections on the outside and in the middle. The outside section is worth twice as much as the number and the inside section is worth three times as much. Therefore, hitting the inner section on 20 would score you 60.

It is a really exciting game and great for a laugh. You don't get all sweaty doing it, don't need to change into sports gear and it's fun and easy to play! It's hard to get the knack of throwing the darts for a certain area at first, but practice makes perfect. The only drawback is the potential danger of playing darts around others - you are throwing potentially deadly weapons!
