How to play darts

If you're competitive, think about mastering this game in the family room den before braving the scene at the local watering hole. Here's how to play darts instructions

Instructions

1.Hang the dartboard so that the center is 5 feet 8 inches from the floor.
        
2.Mark the throwing line, called the 'oche' (rhymes with 'hockey'), with nonskid tape. The line should be 7 feet, 9 1 /4 inches from the face of the dartboard (not the wall), according to the World Darts Federation.
        
3.Make sure the tape mark lies so that the front edge is the actual line. In other words, a player may step on the tape, but not past it.
        
4.Give each player or team three darts, and determine who throws first by having each player or team representative throw one dart. The player or team whose dart is closest to the center, or bull's-eye, gets to go first.
        
5.Warm up, as competitive dart players do, by alternating throws until each person has thrown nine darts.
        
6.Once the game begins, take your turn by throwing your three darts.
        
7.Add up the score. Each part of the board has a number, and that is the dart's score.
        
8.Count a dart that misses the board completely as a throw. The score for that dart is zero.
        
9.Remove your darts and allow the other player to throw.
        
10.Alternate until the game is over. There are numerous dart games, including the simple one in which players throw five sets, and whoever has the highest score wins.
