Multi-Player Dart Games

Killer is a game that I really enjoy playing when there are a bunch of people who want to play. It's fun to form alliances and go after the stronger shooters.


Killer

If you want to practice your ability to hit doubles, this is one way to do it. Everyone throws one dart at the board with their non-throwing hand. The number they hit is their number, even if it is a bull. If someone else should also hit that number, they will need to throw another dart. The person with the lowest number will throw first, second lowest throw second, and so on. To become a killer, each player has to hit the double of their number. When they have done that, mark their initials showing that they are a killer (we circle their initials, some people write a K next to their initials). Now that you are a killer, you want to knock the other players out of the game by hitting their doubles. Each time you hit their double, they get a mark. Once a player has three marks, they are out of the game. If you should accidentally hit your own number, you then give yourself a mark. If you are not a killer, and hit someone elses double, nothing happens.

Strategy: This is one of those games that the best thrower will not always win. In most games, people will form little alliances to knock out the better thrower by only throwing at his number until he/she is out. If two or more of you opponents happen to have numbers next to each other, shoot at them. If you miss the one your aiming at, maybe you will hit one that is next to it.
Other Variations



Once you become a killer, you can only shoot at those people that are not killers. You can only shoot at people that are also killers when everyone left in the game is a killer.


Use triples instead of doubles. If you hit the bull, you still have to shoot at the double bull.


If you should happen to hit your number while you are a killer, you lose your killer status and must hit it again to become a killer.


Instead of throwing your dart to determine your target, write all of the 21 possible targets on pieces of paper and have each person draw the number they will throw at. This is a good method if you have someone in your group that can throw with both arms. It keeps them from being able to hit the number they want. I've never had that problem. I do good just to hit the board throwing left-handed.


Everyone starts as a killer, you do not have to hit your target to become a killer.

This can be a fun game!
