Round the World—Practice Double Out is a practice game where multiple players aim to hit all the doubles on a standard dartboard (from 1-20) and the double bullseye. It can be a fun and challenging activity and great practice for doubles.
Game Setup:
- Players: Any number of players can participate.
- Objective: The goal is to hit all the doubles from 1 to 20 and the double bullseye.
- Dartboard: A standard dartboard is used.
Game Rules:
- Turns: Players take turns throwing three darts per round.
- Scoring:
- Players must hit each double from 1 to 20 and the double bullseye in any order.
- Each hit double is marked off for that player.
- The first player to hit all required doubles and the double bullseye wins.
- Wildcard – Bullseye:
- If a player hits a bullseye, they can use it as a wildcard to count as any double they have not yet hit.
- This wildcard can be declared immediately after the throw or saved for a later turn.
Gameplay Example:
- Each player takes their turn by throwing three darts.
- Players announce which doubles they are aiming for before each throw.
- If a player hits the intended double, it is marked off their list.
- If a player hits the bullseye, they decide to use it as a wildcard immediately or keep it for a problematic double later.
Optional Variations:
- Difficulty Levels: For beginners, allow bullseyes to count as wildcards more frequently or adjust the number of doubles needed to win.
- Teams: Players can form teams, where team members collectively work to hit all the doubles.
- Penalties: Introduce penalties for missing three consecutive darts aimed at the same double, perhaps by making the player skip their next turn.
This game can be complexly adjusted by adding or removing rules based on the players’ skill levels. It’s a great way to practice precision in dart throwing, and using the bullseye as a wildcard adds strategic depth to the game. Enjoy your dart game!
