Man i love playing darts!!

Well over the weekend i was a little bored so after sorting out my back garden i decided to nip to Argos and buy myself a decent dartboard. Anyway after it was hooked onto a nearby wall at the correct height etc, my friend and I decided to have a few games of 301 and round the clock/board. These quick games turned into a fully blown BBQ with beers and funny cigarettes a plenty! Next up was a fully blown tournament involving six people that ended at around 10:30 last night!!
My main reason for posting is i just wondered if any other dart playing addicts out there know of any other games to play on the dart board other than 501,301 and round the board. Id be very interested to know what other games you can play and give them a whirl!

Thanks in advance!

Darts fan here, haven't played for a while but also love a nonstandard game down the pub..

We play "Killer", the one with all the things down the side which some people call "Halves" - my favourite, "Cricket" & then there's another one some of the pro's play which is very complicated.

The one on that website called Halvers is my favourite, although we play a slightly better version. No need for just 2 players or teams, we play with 8-10 people of playing for themselves. You have the standard board set up as they say but we also a bow-tie where you throw one dart & have to hit the triangle opposite, ie: hit 20 with your first dart, you have to hit 3 with your next, them to complete the bow-tie you have to hit a bull or 25.

Game goes on for ages but tiz god fun
