How to proceed
- Aim the swaying sight.
- Throw three darts per visit.
- Singles/doubles/triples/bulls deduct their values.
- Overshoot, one remaining or non-double zero busts the visit.
How your actions work
Pointer/arrow controls; Throw dart or Space. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
One way to understand the rules
With 40 remaining, a double 20 finishes a double-out leg. A single 20 leaves 20; it does not finish the leg. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Pay attention to this rule
A bust restores the score at the start of the visit. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
