Why These Games Work

The Classics, Scored Properly

These are the games darts players have always played — the pub games, the practice routines and the formats every league player knows — each one built out properly with scoring, stats and personal bests. Miss your number in Halve It and it costs you. Leave a double standing in Bob's 27 and your score bleeds. Get some mates round for Killer or Shanghai, scored on one phone with the full rules on the page.

If you're training rather than playing, pick by weakness. Doubles letting you down? Doubles Practice and Bob's 27. Checkouts falling apart between 61 and 100? Catch 40 is the classic routine for exactly that range. Scoring power flat? Timed Scoring and Trebles Practice. Brand new to the board? Around the Board builds accuracy without punishing you for it. And for real matches, the Live Scorer handles 501, 301 and Cricket for up to four players with checkout suggestions and full stats.

When you've worn the classics out, our own inventions live on the Dart Starter Games page — and the adaptive Training Plan will build sessions from all of them around your logged results.
