How to play Cricket, a Dart Game of Skill and Strategy

Quantity

Cricket is one of the most popular games after the traditional '01. In addition to the talent required to play darts, Cricket calls on your qualities as a strategist.

The goal of the game

The goal of cricket is to be the first player to close all the cricket numbers and have a higher or even point total.

Playing the game and scores

The numbers from 20 to 15 and the bullseye are used to play Cricket. It happens occasionally that the numbers 20-10 and the bullseye are used.

At the beginning of the game, all the numbers are considered "open". To "close" a number, it must be hit 3 times. A dart in the "simple" zone worth 1 hit, a dart in the "double" zone worth 2 hits and a dart in the "triple" zone worth 3 hits.

Once your number is closed, you can start earning points by reaching the same issue if it is still open to the other player. For example, you reach the "triple" 20 section with your first dart (which closes your number 20) and the "simple" 20 section with both following darts. If the number 20 is always open to the other player, so you will earn 40 points. When the other player finaly closes his number 20, it is no longer possible to earn points from it.

The winner of the game must be the first to close all its numbers and must have accumulated or equaled the highest score.

Here is how to write down the score :

  • When a number is hit one time, write down : /
  • When a number is hit two times, write down : X
  • When a number is hit three times, write down : O

Points earned during the game are written from the top of the scoreboard.

Variation called Cut-Throat

The Cut-Throat is played when there are more than two players or two teams of players. The game remains the same as the standard Cricket except that the points you are added, goes on the total of other players whose number you have hit is not closed. Thus the first player to close all its numbers and possess the least points wins.
