This game is much like Count-Up, except that the game ends at the
finish of the 7th round. The player who accumulates the highest total scores
wins.
OVERS
This is a simple and quick game. The player should try to score higher
than or equal to the pervious highest score made in a turn. When a player
scores less than the record of three-dart total, a "Life" is then taken away
from the player. By default, each player has 3 lives to spare. However,
Handicaping can extend the player's lives up to 7. The last player stands to
be alive in the game is the winner.
UNDERS
The game is similar to Overs, except the objective is to beat the lowest
record of three-dart total. When the three-dart total is higher than the record,
then a "Life" is taken away from the player. A pass of a throw, a hit outside
the scoring area, or a discarded bounce-out dart (i.e., the bounce-out button
was pushed) is penalized with 60 points (3x20, the highest possible one-dart
score). The last player stands to be alive in the game is the winner.
BIG-6
The player tries to earn the chance of picking the next target by
making a hit on the current target first. Single-6 is the first target when the
game starts. Within the three throws, the player has to hit the target once to
save his/her lives. As long as the hit is made by the first or the second throw,
the player has a chance with one throw to select the next target. Singles,
Doubles and Triples are all considered as different targets. The strategy is to
pick the toughest target for the opponents as possible, such as "triple-20" or
"double-Bull's Eye". The last player stands to be alive in the game is the
winner.
CRICKET
Cricket is a game that is extremely popular in America and Central
Europe. Players adopt defensive or attacking strategy, depending on the
state of the game. At any point in the game, each player can make effort to
increase the score or to attempt blocking other players from scoring.
The game is played with the numbers 15 through 20 and the Bull's
Eye. Each player must mark a number 3 times to CLOSE it. A hit of a single
counts as 1 mark; a double counts as 2 marks and a triple counts as 3
marks. After a number is closed, additional "markings" are converted into
scores that is equal to the number. However, when a number is closed by all
players (ALL CLOSED), that number is then no longer available for
cumulating scores. The winner is who has the highest score and closed all
the numbers first. If scores are even, the player who closes all the numbers
first wins.
The strategy can be very different if the game is being played with the
restriction that is to close each number in a specific order. Use HANDICAP
