Objective

Reach 13 points before your opponent by landing your darts closest to the black Jack (target). Like cornhole, precision counts – but here, every dart from the same team that’s closest to the Jack scores, just like in pétanque.

Game Setup

Each player must have 3 darts to play.

Starting the round

The player who begins tosses the Jack and chooses its starting position, aiming at least 10 feet away. If the first player fails to stick the Jack on their first toss, an opponent takes a turn to toss it, and players alternate until someone successfully sticks it. Once the Jack is in place, gameplay continues as usual.

Gameplay and scoring

1. Closest darts count: After all darts are tossed, the team with the closest dart to the Jack wins the round. Each dart closer than the other team’s nearest dart scores a point.
2. Tossing order: The team whose dart is furthest from the Jack must continue tossing until they land closer than the opposing team’s nearest dart. Only then does the other team get their turn.

Bonus points and special moves

• 😘 Kiss: If you succeed in sticking a dart that touches another dart (yours or your opponent's), you earn an extra point.
• 💋 French kiss: If you succeed in sticking a dart that embraces another dart, you score 2 points.
• 💘 Jackiss: If one of your darts touches the Jack, every other dart from your team that sticks to the surface, regardless of proximity to the Jack, counts for your team for that round.
• ‍⬇ Jumpover: Land a dart on top of another dart and score 3 points. If it’s on top of your opponent’s dart, you cancel that dart.
• 🦘 Jackover: Land directly on the Jack to win the game instantly.
• 💥 Jack knock-out: If you knock out the Jack and then stick your dart, you steal the point for your team, ending the round.
• ❌ Jack fall: If the Jack falls from its spot during a round, the team closest to it before the fall scores 1 point, ending the round.

If no player manages to stick a dart by the end of the round, the player who stuck the Jack initially scores 1 point.

In this mode, the goal is still to get as close as possible to the Jack, but with a twist: you throw your darts first, then place the Jack.

1. All players throw their darts simultaneously until they’ve used all their darts.
2. The player with the most darts successfully stuck on the playing surface gains the right to throw the Jack. If there’s a tie, the tied players can decide the winner with a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. However, if one of the players has achieved a Kiss or a Jumpover, they automatically win the advantage and throw the Jack.
3. The objective is to place the Jack as close as possible to your darts to maximize your points.

Scoring follows the same rules as in classic mode, with points awarded for each dart closer to the Jack than your opponent's closest dart.

This mode, discovered one evening in December 2022, adds a fun twist for two players.

1. Set up two identical surfaces (2 tables or 2 floor tiles work well) and position yourself and your opponent 3 to 4 meters apart.
2. Play Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide who starts. The first player tosses all 7 darts, saving the Jack for the final throw, aiming to stick as many darts as possible onto their opponent’s surface.
3. The goal is to successfully stick the Jack on the designated surface at the end. If you manage this, each dart that sticks earns 1 point.

Scoring

• The first player to reach 21 points wins.
• A successfully stuck Jack at the end of the round is essential; if you miss with the Jack, you score zero for that round.
• Bonus Points: A Kiss (touching another dart) gives an additional 1 point, and a Jumpover (landing a dart on top of another) earns 3 extra points.

Easy to understand, fun, and perfect for a friendly challenge or evening activity!

In this fast-paced mode, players compete to be the first to score 21 points with both speed and accuracy.

1. Choose a surface to throw your darts (a table, car, window, etc.), and position yourself and your opponent at an equal distance from it.
2. When someone gives the signal “Toss it!”, both players start throwing their darts as quickly as possible.
3. The first player to throw their last dart shouts “Stop!” to prevent their opponent from throwing any more darts. Speed is key to gaining an advantage.

Scoring

• Each dart that sticks to the surface scores 1 point.
• Gather your darts and start a new round until one player reaches 21 points.
• Quick-throw techniques can make a big difference in winning, so develop your own strategies to surprise your opponent!

Special points and particularities

• Over 21 points: If both players go over 21 points in the same round, the player with the highest score wins the game.
• Jumpover: If a player lands a dart on top of another (Jumpover), they immediately win the game, regardless of the color of the lower dart.
• Zero sticks penalty: If a player fails to stick any darts, they lose as many points as their opponent scores in that round. (So aim a little rather than charging ahead, though let’s admit – we all play like bulls here! 😂)

Additional bonuses

• Kiss: If two valid darts (those stuck to the surface) touch each other, it’s a Kiss. If they belong to the same player, they score an additional 1 point. If they belong to opposing players, both darts are eliminated from scoring.

Battle mode is fast, competitive, and perfect for testing your speed, skill, and a bit of strategy!

In this exciting mode, the goal is to race against each other to stick your darts on top of the Mega dart, testing your speed and precision in a fast-paced challenge.

Setup

Start by tossing the Mega dart onto the chosen surface (table, floor, or any flat spot), creating the target for all players.

Gameplay

• All players throw their regular darts as quickly as they want, aiming to be the first to stick a dart on top of the mega dart.

Scoring:

• Ultimate Trick: If you manage to stick a regular dart on top of another dart already stuck on the mega dart, you’re a master sniper! You win the game instantly and absolutely must send us a video of this epic moment.

El Sniper Mode is thrilling, challenging, and perfect for groups and kids eager to show off their skills.

In this mode, players compete to land their darts as close as possible to a “borderline” that divides the playing area in two, while crossing into the opponent's side.

Setup

Mark a line down the middle of the chosen surface to represent the border. Players position themselves on opposite sides of the line, each with three or six darts.

Gameplay

• The objective is to toss your darts across the border into your opponent’s area, aiming to land as close as possible to the borderline without landing back on your own side.
• Each player tosses their darts towards the opposite side, trying to land closer to the border than their opponent’s darts.

Scoring

• Only darts that successfully cross the border are considered for scoring. This means Player A’s darts must land on Player B’s side, and Player B’s darts must land on Player A’s side to be valid.
• After both players have thrown all their darts, the player with the dart closest to the border (on the opponent’s side) wins the round.
• The winning player scores 1 point for each of their darts that is closer to the border than their opponent’s nearest valid dart.

Penalty

If a player’s dart fails to cross the border and lands on their own side, their opponent scores 1 point for each misplaced dart.

Winning the game

Play continues for several rounds until a player reaches 13 points and wins the game.

Cross the border mode is a strategic test of precision, rewarding those who can get close to the line while still making it across. Perfect for players looking for a new competitive twist!

In this mode, players compete to create a line of matching colors on a grid, much like an adapted version of tic-tac-toe.

Setup

Draw a grid on a table or floor, or use floor tiles if they’re arranged in squares. Choose either a 4x4 or 5x5 grid:

• 4x4 grid: Create a line or diagonal of 3 matching darts.
• 5x5 grid: Create a line or diagonal of 4 matching darts.

Players stand 3 to 4 meters away from the grid to begin.

Gameplay

• Players take turns tossing their darts, aiming to land them in specific squares to form their line of matching colors.
• If a dart lands in a square that’s already occupied, the new dart is simply removed, and the previous dart stays in place.
• To determine which square a dart has landed in, check where the suction cup covers the most area.

Winning

The first player to create an unbroken line of 3 matching squares on a 4x4 grid or 4 matching squares on a 5x5 grid wins the game.

Tic-tac-dart mode is a fun and strategic family game that combines precision with the classic challenge of tic-tac-toe.

Educational and Team-Building Game for Kids

Objective: Promote teamwork, color identification, and counting skills by hitting assigned targets as a group.

Setup: Draw or mark two target zones on the floor or wall—these can be squares, circles, or designated spaces on a whiteboard. Divide the kids into two groups, each with their own target area.

Gameplay: The teacher or parent gives a color target (e.g., “three red darts”). The children’s task is to work together to hit their target area with the specified number of darts in the given color as quickly as possible.

Scoring and strategy: The first team to hit their target zone with the required darts wins the round and scores a point. As kids play, they’ll naturally discover that it’s faster to distribute colors among team members, rather than everyone holding onto one color, learning through teamwork and strategy.

Educational benefits: This mode reinforces teamwork, color recognition, counting, and coordination. It’s a great way to build cooperation and organizational skills as kids work together to achieve a shared goal, with minimal guidance from adults.

Motor Skill and Coordination Game for Kids

Objective: Encourage kids to see how high and how many darts they can stick to a wall or window, testing both coordination and their throwing reach.

Setup: Choose a smooth surface like a wall or window where the darts can stick securely.

Gameplay: Kids toss their darts, aiming to stick them as high as they can reach. They can also try to see how many darts they can cover the wall or window with, filling up the space as much as possible.

Challenge options: Children can compete to see who can place their dart the highest or stick the most darts to the surface within a certain time. This mode is endlessly entertaining, as kids love seeing how high and how many they can throw and stick.

Developmental benefits: This mode helps children improve coordination, reach, and spatial awareness, all while keeping them engaged for hours as they aim higher and add more to their “dart collection.”

Creativity and Visual-Spatial Game for Kids

Objective: Let kids explore color and pattern-making as they arrange and stack darts in rings, shapes, or imaginative designs.

Setup: Choose a flat surface or wall where the darts will stick easily. Spread out darts in various colors.

Gameplay: Children can create colorful rings, patterns, or even towers by stacking darts on top of each other. They’re encouraged to experiment with different shapes or designs using their favorite colors, forming “rainbow rings” or towers.

Creative challenge: See if kids can stack darts in different color patterns, or make towers by balancing one dart on top of another. They can also create color-coordinated shapes, like hearts or stars, on the wall.

Developmental benefits: This mode supports fine motor skills, visual-spatial skills, and creativity, providing a fun way for kids to explore colors and design through play.
