Darts

Darts is a precision sport in which players throw small, pointed missiles called darts at a circular board, known as a dartboard, which is typically hung vertically on a wall. The dartboard is divided into numbered sections that represent different scores, and players aim to accumulate points by hitting specific areas on the board. The most common game variations include ‘501’, where players start with a score of 501 and try to reduce it to exactly zero, and ‘cricket’, where players compete to hit specific numbers and close them out.

Darts can be played by two individuals or in teams, and it requires a combination of skill, hand-eye coordination, and strategy. The sport is often played in pubs and social clubs, and it also has a professional competitive scene with tournaments held worldwide. The origins of the game can be traced back to the late 19th century, and it has grown in popularity, evolving into both a leisure activity and a professional sport with international championships.
