How to Play Sticky-Velcro Darts

Velcro darts is a type of board game typically played by children. Normal dart board games use pointy darts that are dangerous for kids. Velcro darts are safe because there is no sharp tip to cause injury. There are several versions of sticky-velcro dart games but they are all played by the same rules. Players form teams or play individually. Points are kept and totaled up at the end of the game. The person or team with the highest number of points wins.

Things You'll Need

Masking tape

Instructions

- 1
  Practice before the game. Each player gets up to nine warm-up shots.
- 2
  Throw a Velcro dart at the Velcro target to see which person or team goes first. If you are playing individually, each person throws a dart at the board. If you are playing on teams, one person from each team throws a dart at the board. The person or team with the dart closest to the bulls-eye goes first.
- 3
  Make a line on the ground with masking tape that is centered in front of the dartboard. Place the line as close or far as you want from the dartboard but remember that you have to stay behind it when throwing the darts.
- 4
  Throw three darts at the board (one at a time) on your turn. Each player goes in turn. If you are playing on teams, one person from each team throws and it moves on to the next team. Do not step over the line or the throw doesn't count and cannot be re-thrown.
- 5
  Retrieve the darts and count the points after you've thrown all three. The outer ring is worth the amount posted on the outside of the ring. One ring in, they are worth double. Two rings in is worth triple. Outer bulls-eye is worth 25 points. A bulls-eye is worth 50 points. A dart must stay on the board for at least five seconds for the points to count.
- 6
  Rotate through all the players and add up the scores. The person or team with the highest score is the winner.
