Extreme Beer Pong Now

This dart game is fun and swift which will make it a great game for a large group and for a great rec/bar room game! There are variations to this game, so this is just the basic rules of the game!

To begin, an order of play is decided, and each player throws one dart ‘bad-handed’ (left-handed players throw right-handed and vice-versa) at the board to decide their number. Obviously, if a dart misses or hits a number that is already allocated, the player retries. Each player is allocated a set number of lives (usually 5) and is generally required to put a small stake into a pot. It is a good tactic to avoid being adjacent to somebody else’s number.

Players start by taking turns to aim at their allocated number, scoring a life for each dart that hits it, 2 lives for a double and 3 lives for a treble. Once a player has scored 5 lives, that player is a ‘killer’ until somebody else deducts one or more lives from his score. However, a player must get EXACTLY 5 lives to become a killer, if he overshoots, then his score is deducted by the amount exceeded. For instance, if a player is on 4 lives and hits a treble of his number, the first of the 3 lives scored takes the player to 5 but the remaining 2 lives are deducted – so the end result is a score of 3 lives.

Once a player is a killer, they aim at any of the other player’s numbers. Each time they do, the appropriate number of lives is deducted from the victimised player’s score. When a player is reduced to below 0, that player is out of the game. For instance if a player has 1 life and a killer hits that player’s number’s double, that player’s score is reduced to -1 and he is out of the game.

The final player left in the game is the winner and collects the pot. You are welcome to use house rules and change up the game as you see fit to do! This should make for a great and fun game for friends and neighbors.
