I've been a fan of darts since I first played in my teens, and I used to play with friends down at our local social club - till they closed the social club. To be honest, after that, I sort of stopped playing really. That is, until we bought this dartboard last year.

I love the simplicity of darts. It's a game of math and a game of precision and one of careful aim. But in its basic form, it's one which you don't really have to prep for. There's no running around needed, no jumping, swimming, no special clothing, in other words it's the sort of thing anyone can play - even me, and I have fibromyalgia so most 'sports' are sort of out the question.

This particular dart board is made by Winmau who are one of the leading brands when it comes to darts. They make boards for pros and amateurs alike, and can be found around the high street and on the internet. We got ours from Amazon for just over £25.

The board is pretty sturdy. It stands up well to having darts thrown at it - well it should, it's a dart board after all. Seriously though, it's made solidly, the wires are well fixed and it's stood up nicely to our home use. Although we did quite quickly place a nice sturdy board behind it for when we're playing with friends who aren't terribly good at hitting the board (well we don't want our walls suffering lol and we don't have a game box for it).

It came with a set of darts which are nothing special, but aren't too bad. They're certainly not what you'd call high standard, but they're better than most of the darts that you find down the local pub although the flights didn't stand up that well with time and have been replaced.

In the pack with the board and darts, you also get a booklet to tell you how to play darts - it's fairly basic but gives the rules and explains a bit about the game and would be quite useful for a beginner.

Basically the set contains everything you need to play a game of darts with your friends, which is why we got the set. Bearing in mind, that you can get some other dart boards that aren't as well put together and pay just as much for them, I reckon that this is a pretty good buy. It's standing up well and looks like it will last for another few years without any trouble at all.
