WAR: This game requires 2 or more players. Each player gets one dart to shoot at the number they would like to be. Nobody can have the same number. Once the numbers are selected the one with the lowest starts the game. Three darts are allowed per turn. The object is to accumulate 5 points in your number to become a killer (like baseball the outer part is worth 2 the inner 1 ). As killer you can shoot other player’s numbers. When they are knocked down to zero they are out. The last survivor wins.

AROUND THE WORLD: Each player receives 3 tries to hit the number they are shooting. Start at 1 and go to 20. If you hit the outer part of the number you move up 2 numbers, if you hit the inner you move up 1. The first person to reach 20 wins. There are many variations to this game. Players may want to require the cork to be hit before you are allowed to shoot at the 1. They may allow you to get your three darts back if the number being shot at is hit with the last dart. Also, instead of ending on the 20 it may be suggested to hit the inside than outside corks. Any variations should be discussed before the game starts and based on the skill level of the players
