Electro Darts
History of Game
Electro Darts is a new spin on the traditional game, Lawn Darts. Electro Darts has
all the same features as Lawn Darts, but also has an electronic target with audio
output that indicates the score of each throw that lands on the target. Electro Darts
is a versatile indoor-outdoor game that is fun for all ages.
Like many other games including Horseshoes and Bocce, Electro Darts is a target
game. Throwing an object at a target may be the oldest game on the planet. While
Darts, as we know it today, originated in the 1950s, it is similar to the ancient
Roman plumbata, lead-weighted darts carried by infantrymen in the Middle Ages.
In 1988, Lawn Darts with sharp points were banned for sale by the Consumer
Product Safety Commission in the United States. Today, Lawn Darts and Electro
Darts are made with a blunt weighted tip resulting in a safer version of the game.
Object of Game
Electro Darts is a target game where the object is to throw the darts so that the
weighted tip lands inside a target. After all of the darts are thrown at the target, the
players then walk to the electronic target to retrieve their darts to continue play. In
Electro Darts, the first player or team to reach a pre-agreed score wins the game.
This game is easy to learn and simple to play, but difficult to master.
Electronic Dart players score points according to the audio output of the electronic
target. The electronic target has four scoring areas within the target. There are
two scoring areas for 10 points each, one for 20 points, and one for 30 points.
When a dart lands on one of the scoring areas inside the electronic target, the
audio output indicates how many points were scored on that throw.
