Darts is a popular pub game that involves players or teams taking turns throwing darts at a circular board. Each player throws three darts at a board, which is divided into 20 slices, with four zones in each slice, and a two-tiered bullseye in the center. Certain slices are worth different points. The object is to score the most points. Electronic dart boards are a great option for those looking to play darts at home. Not only do electronic boards feature plastic or rubber-tipped darts - which will not stick in the wall like pointed darts, or pose potential dangers to children - but they are can automatically keep score.
