Drinking Darts Game

Drinking Darts is a fun variation of traditional darts where drinking rules are added to the game to make it more social and entertaining. Here’s a basic outline of how to play:

What You Need:

1. Dartboard: Traditional or electronic.
2. Darts: At least 3 darts.
3. Drinks: Any beverage of your choice (beer, cocktails, shots, etc.).

Basic Rules of Drinking Darts:

1. Setup:
   • Hang the dartboard and stand at the regulation distance (typically around 7 feet 9.25 inches).
   • Each player takes turns throwing three darts per round.
   • Players can play standard dart games like 301, 501, or cricket with added drinking rules.
2. Drinking Penalties: Add these optional rules for drinking penalties during the game:
   • Bullseye: The person who hits a bullseye gives out a drink to any other player of their choice.
   • Miss the Board: If a player completely misses the dartboard with any dart, they must take a drink.
   • Triple 20: If someone hits triple 20, everyone except the thrower takes a drink.
   • Double: Any time a player hits a double, they assign a drink to someone else.
   • Busted Turn: If you bust during games like 301 or 501 (going over the required number), you must take a drink.
   • Lose a Round/Game: The loser of each round or game has to take a drink (or a shot, depending on how intense you want to make it).
3. Winning and Drinking:
   • The winner of the game can give out drinks to other players (the number of drinks could depend on the score difference).
   • You can introduce a last-place penalty, where the player with the lowest score at the end drinks a full drink.

Variations:

1. Team Play: If playing in teams, winning teams can assign drinks to the losing team.
2. Drunk Darts: For a more intense version, you can set drinking rules based on the scores. For example:
   • 1–10 points: 1 drink
   • 11–20 points: 2 drinks
   • 21–30 points: 3 drinks
   • And so on.

Tips:

• Make sure everyone plays responsibly and knows their limits.
• Alternate drinks with water to stay hydrated.

By mixing the competitive fun of darts with these drinking rules, you can create a lively game that keeps everyone engaged!
