Dart cricket is a game played by two people or two teams competing against each other. different from several other dart games, much of the dartboard gets ignored in cricket, in which you try to hit only the numbers 15 through 20 and the bull’s-eye. In order to win, you will need to throw the darts accurately, however you’ll also need to know the rules to be able to capitalize on your opponent’s weaknesses.

Close out numbers 15 to 20 and the bull’s-eye by hitting them 3 times. If you hit the number in its outer ring, it counts as two hits, and if you hit the number in its inner ring, it counts as three hits. Once you have the third hit, you can close out that number. Not only does this make you one step closer to winning the game, but it keeps your opponent from being able to increase their score.

Score points by hitting numbers that your opponent has yet to close out. For example, let’s say that you’ve already closed out the number 15, but your opponent hasn’t. Not only have you earned 45 points by hitting the 15 3 times for yourself, you can continue to ear 15 points by hitting the 15 on the dartboard until your opponent has closed out that number.

Close out every number and the bull’s-eye before you opponent does. After you have beaten them to closing everything out, add up the marks. If you have the highest score, you win.

Continue playing if you’ve closed everything out but do not have the highest score. Consider that the only way to get points is to try to hit numbers that your chosen opponent still has open. To win, you have to get your score higher than your opponent’s score before your opponent has a chance to close out all of their numbers while still in the lead.

P.S. To increase your chances of winning at dart cricket, try to close out the highest numbers before the lowest numbers. The longer it takes to close a number out, the greater of an opportunity your opponent has to close that number out themselves. which gives them the opportunity to add up the score, and but if your higher numbers are still open, they can add to their score quicker.
