DARTS
Game Format: Game 101

Each player starts with a score of 301 and takes turns to throw 3 darts. The score for each turn is
calculated and deducted from the players total.

Bullseye scores 50, the outer ring scores 25 and a dart in the double or treble ring counts double
or treble the segment score.

The objective is to be the first player to reduce the score to exactly zero, the only caveat being
that the last dart thrown must land in a double or the bullseye.

I7
If a player reduces the score to 1 or goes below zero, the score is bust, that turn ends
immediately and the score is returned to what it was at the start of that turn. e.g. if a player has
32 to go out and the first dart is a 16, the second is a 15, the player is bust and the score is
returned to 32. So on the last turn, it is not necessary to throw all 3 darts - a player can win with
the first or second dart of the turn.

2. As words are placed on the game board, points are collected and each letter that is used in

highest possible score based on the combination of letters.
3. Tile Values
Below are the point values for each letter that is used in a Scrabble game.
0 Point - Blank tile.
1 Point - A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T and U.
2 Points - D and G.
3 Points - B, C, M and P.

multipliers. Should a tile be placed on these squares, the value of the tile will be multiplied by 2x
or 3x. Some squares will also multiply the total value of the word and not just the single point
value of one tile.
5. Double Letter Scores - The light blue cells in the board are isolated and when these are used,
they will double the value of the tile placed on that square.
6. Triple Letter Score - The dark blue cell on the board will be worth triple the amount, so any tile
placed here will earn more points.
7. Double Word Score - When a cell is light red in color, it is a double word cell and these runs
diagonally on the board, towards the four corners. When a word is placed on these squares,
the entire value of the word will be doubled.
8. Triple Word Score - The dark red square is where the high points can be earned as this will triple
the word score. Placing any word on these squares will boost points drastically. These are found
on all four sides of the board and are equidistant from the corners.
9. One Single Use - When using the extra point squares on the board, they can only be used one
time. If a player places a word here, it cannot be used as a multiplier by placing another word
on the same square.
