Darts 301: learn through an example

Something to practise

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your objective

Reduce 301 to zero on a double within ten visits. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.

The steps to play

  1. Aim the swaying sight.
  2. Throw three darts per visit.
  3. Singles/doubles/triples/bulls deduct their values.
  4. Overshoot, one remaining or non-double zero busts the visit.

Controls

Pointer/arrow controls; Throw dart or Space. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.

A useful example

With 40 remaining, a double 20 finishes a double-out leg. A single 20 leaves 20; it does not finish the leg. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

Pay attention to this rule

A bust restores the score at the start of the visit. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
