A dart board is set up like a pie grid, featuring 20 evenly spaced slots. The center of the board has a bull's-eye, and the other sections are split into four spaces --- two large and two thin areas. The board setup and numbers allow dozens of dart game variations. These games are about adding up and eliminating numbers, and having the best dart-throwing accuracy.

Add 'Em Up
Each player gets three dart throws per round. After five rounds, the player with the highest score wins. The outer rings of each numbered section is worth double the points. The inner ring is worth triple the points. For example, if you got the outer ring on the "20" spot, you would get 40 points. The outer ring of the bull's-eye is worth 25 points, and the bull's-eye is worth 50 points. There is no limit to how many points a player may get.

01 Games
301, 501 and 701 are subtraction games where players have to throw darts and eliminate points as quickly as possible. Scoring is the same as "Add 'Em Up," with the scores subtracted instead of added. Players must reach exactly 0 to win the game. For example, if a player has four points left and the dart lands on a seven, the throw just counts as zero points; however, if the same player's dart lands on a four, the throw counts as four points, which brings the player's score to zero, resulting in a victory. Each player gets three throws per round, and there is no limit on rounds.

Cricket
Use chalk or a piece of paper to set up a small grid. Write the numbers 20 to 15 and an icon for the bull's-eye down the center of the grid. Write the player's names on either side of the numbers. To win, players must get each number three times. Write out each made shot with a slash for one, a formed "X" for the second and the a circle around the "X" to complete that number. A dart thrown in the triple ring counts for all three and the double ring counts as two. The bull's-eye counts as two points, and the bull's-eye ring counts as one point. The first player to clear all of the numbers wins.

Baseball Darts
The reverse side of dart boards often feature a baseball field layout for the dart game "Baseball." In the game, players throw darts in an attempt to score the most runs in five innings. Players throw darts until they reach three outs during each inning. Outs occur when a player throws the dart to an "Out" section or gets the "Strike" section three times during an "At-Bat." Players must keep track of runners on base and the amount of runs using a piece of paper. Sections to score include "Single," "Double," "Triple" and small "Home Run" sections. The "Foul Ball" sections counts towards the strike count. The winner is the player with the most runs after five innings.

Hard-tip darts, with metal points, require a board that will allow the metal points to penetrate and remain in a scoring area. Metal tip darts are usually thrown at bristle boards. Proper care will extend the life of an expensive bristle board and keep it in top condition whether it's used for competitions or just leisurely fun at home.

1.Understand how bristle boards are made. Bristle board construction begins with long ropes of tightly bound sisal fibers 2-inches in diameter, wrapped in light-weight paper. Biscuits about 1 1/2-inches thick are sliced from the ropes. Many biscuits are glued to a round sheet of particle board and tightly compressed with a permanent metal band. This process arranges the sisal fibers at right angles to the backer board. The face of the biscuits is sanded and painted in a prescribed pattern. A movable wire divider called a “spider” delineates scoring areas is attached to the face of the board.

2.Rotate the bristle board frequently. This reduces and distributes the wear in the highest scoring areas of the dart board. Remove the wire number ring. A bristle board is mounted on a centered pivot point. Rotate the board clockwise so the next black section is at the top of the board. Replace the number ring with 20 at the top and the bristle board is ready for play. Rotate as often as once a week, depending on the amount of play on your board.

3.Brush the face of the bristle board daily with a soft paintbrush to remove dust and bits of sisal that are pulled from the board.

4.Spray the surface of the board very lightly about once a week. In climates with very hot, low humidity, bristle boards tend to dry out. Do not over-spray as this will cause the board to swell up and cause the spider to bind.

Golf darts is a great game to play while sitting at the bar and watching your favorite sporting event or while at home in your basement with your buddies. Darts is a game of skill and concentration, and it's great fun to play the front nine and the back nine when you are playing golf darts. Unlike the outdoor game of golf, you are not limited to a foursome. As many players as you want can play this fast-paced game.

1.Have each player shoot for the bull's eye in the middle of the dartboard. The player who hits the bull's eye goes first and the players who come closest after that follow in order.

2.Notice that the dart board has 20 different slots for the shooter to aim. In golf darts, you will start off by shooting for the No. 1 column because that is the first hole. The players get anywhere between one and three darts to throw for each round. If your dart hits the thin outer doubles ring, that counts as a hole-in-one. The thin inner triples ring counts as a two. The thin wedge inside the triples ring counts as three. The wedge inside the doubles ring counts as four. Missing the number ring completely counts as five. Five is the maximum score.

3.Throw one, two or three darts. In the most common way of playing the game, the last dart thrown is the one that counts. If you hit the inside wedge between the triple ring and the bull's eye with your first shot, you can stop there or choose to go on. If you decide to shoot again and miss the board, you are now at a maximum score of five for that hole. You have another shot and if you hit the triple ring, you end up with a two for that hole.

4.Use strategy when playing golf darts. If you throw your first dart in the thin outer doubles ring, that's a hole-in-one and there's obviously no need to continue to shoot because that's the best score you can get. But, if you get a three on your second shot by hitting the thin wedge inside the triples ring, you are at risk if you throw again because you can end up with a four or five if your final shot is not as good as your second shot.

5.Add up your score after each hole. Shoot for the holes in number order, going from No. 1 to No. 2 to No. 3 and so on until you get up to No. 9 or No. 18. The dart thrower with the lowest score at the end of nine or 18 rounds is the winner.

For an authentic game of darts, the bristle dart board remains the top option available. Electronic dart boards are commonly used and provide benefits such as automatic and instant scorekeeping, as well as a variety of included games. However, both the darts used and the board itself limits the quality of play. Other materials can be used for traditional dart boards, but bristle dartboards are generally the most durable and the highest quality.
