Blackjack — 21 on the board, marks on a mat

Every dart is a card: the points in your hand add up, with up to three darts a round. After any dart you can stand, and going over 21 puts 2 marks on your beer mat. The best hand of the round rubs out a mark, and at the end the smallest tally wins.

  • Up to 3 darts a hand, stand after any dart
  • The bull counts 10, the bullseye is always 21
  • A golden ace counts 11 or 1, just like in cards
  • Over 21 = 2 marks, exactly 21 = you hand out 2
  • Green numbers on the board show what makes exactly 21
  • 6 rounds for two, 3 for eight, and the last counts double

How to play

  1. Play your hand: Throw up to three darts and add up their points (S20 = 20, D10 = 20, T7 = 21). After any dart you can tap STEHEN (stand) on the screen.
  2. Bust or blackjack: Go over 21 and you get 2 marks on your beer mat. Exactly 21 is a blackjack: when your turn ends, you hand out 2 marks to the others.
  3. Round scoring: After the last hand, the best hand rubs out one mark and every worse hand gets one. Whoever is ahead throws first next round.
  4. Settling up: After the last round the smallest tally wins and that mat gets torn up; a tie goes to rounds won, then to a bull-off. Everyone else drinks their marks, and a mat holds 10 at most.

Tips

  • With an empty hand, T7 is exactly 21, while T20 busts you straight away.
  • The golden ace can never bust you, because then it only counts 1.
  • A bullseye always makes 21, whatever is already in your hand.
