Checkout Tungsten Dart Rule

Checkout tungsten dart rule is a short very simple game that may be played by any number of players or teams.

The Object: Is to exactly hit 5 target sums in as few tungsten darts as possible.

The Scoring: 5 random numbers are chosen between 1 and 180 and written down the center of the board. These are the "target sums" that must be hit to score.

The target sums may be chosen in many different manners and may be adjusted for player’s ability. For example, keeping the sums under 60 would mean that a round may be completed by hitting only singles, no doubles or triples are needed. By keeping the sums under 100 would mean that no triples need be hit, only doubles and singles. The standard way is to choose one sum that may be hit by one tungsten dart, two that require two tungsten darts and three that require three tungsten darts.

The player’s names are written across the top of the score board in order. Playing order is determined by a throw at bulls-eye, closest tungsten dart plays first.

5 columns are drawn below each player’s names to indicate the 5 attempts each player has to hit target sum.

The Play: Players take alternating turns, in order, to try and score exactly the target sum in as few tungsten darts as possible. You do not have to throw all three tungsten darts. If you get exactly the target sum with one or two tungsten darts, stop throwing.

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.

The number of tungsten darts used to score the target sum is scored next to the target number. If you do not score exactly the target sum with three tungsten darts, you score a three for that round and play continues on to the next player. You have five rounds to hit the target sum, once all five rounds are used or you hit the target sum, you then move on to the next target sum.

Once all five target sums have been completed (either by scoring them or using up all five attempts) the game is over. The total number of tungsten darts used is added up for each player (or team) and whoever has the lower score wins the game (less tungsten darts were used to complete game). In the example game above, Fred won.

Strategy: Try to factor in numbers that can easily hit into how you arrive at the target sum.
