How to Win at Dart Cricket

Dart cricket is a game played by two people or two teams competing against each other. Unlike many other dart games, much of the board gets ignored in cricket, in which you try to hit only the numbers 15 through 20 and the bull's-eye. To win, you'll need to throw the darts accurately, but you'll also need to understand the rules to be able to capitalize on your opponent's weaknesses.

Instructions

    • 1

      Close out numbers 15 to20 and the bull's-eye by hitting them three times. If you hit the number in its outer ring, it counts as two hits, and if you hit the number in its inner ring, it counts as three hits. Once you have the third hit, you can close out that number. Not only does this bring you one step closer to winning the game, but it keeps your opponent from being able to increase their score.

      Score points by hitting numbers that your opponent has yet to close out. For example, let's say that you've already closed out the number 15, but your opponent hasn't. Not only have you earned 45 points by hitting the 15 three times for yourself, you can continue to ear 15 points by hitting the 15 on the board until your opponent has closed out that number.

      Close out every number and the bull's-eye before you opponent does. Once you have beaten them to closing everything out, add up the scores. If you have the highest score, you win.

      Continue playing if you've closed everything out but do not have the highest score. Remember that the only way to get points is to try to hit numbers that your opponent still has open. To win, you have to get your score higher than your opponent's score before your opponent has a chance to close out all of their numbers while still in the lead.
