The Origins of Darts

The exact beginnings of darts is unknown, but according to the website the Online Guide to Traditional Games, some dart authorities believe that darts is connected to the game Puff and Dart. Puff and Dart was first referenced in two journals in 1819 and was described as a game involving blowing a dart through a tube to try and reach a red center. The game is thought to have evolved into a French fairground game in the early 20th century. The segmented dart board was developed there as a way to make it seem easy to win a prize. Others note the existence of a board thought to predate 1900 known as the Grimsby board, featuring a semi-random numbering system pointing toward a game of skill instead of randomized tossing.
