Beer Darts is fantastic, but if there's a lot of you, you'll need a bunch of beer to get everyone woozy. Luckily, the second game we found takes care of the issue. It is called The Shot Darts.
Basically, there are two popular ways to play this game.
One option is to place different shot glasses under the dartboard and assign each of it a number on the board. Whenever someone hits that number, that person drinks the appropriate shot.
The other way is slightly more complex, so we'll explain it step by step.
To play this game, you will need:
How many people can take part in this game?
To play shot darts, you need to gather at least four people, but you can include as many people as possible.
How do you play it?
First of all, you form two teams, each with at least two players. Then one member of each team throws a dart aiming the bullseye. The team that gets closer to the bullseye gets to go first while the opposing team takes its first shots.
Now, the first team throws three darts, trying to hit the numbers between 15-20 or a bullseye. If they fail to do so, they take shots. On the other hand, If they manage to hit the number in the target area, the opposing team drinks shots, and these numbers close out.
When a number is closed out, it is no longer in play. Therefore whenever someone hits it after it is closed out, his team drinks the shots.
The game keeps going with the next team throwing three darts following the same rules, and like so until the end.
How does the game end?
The game ends when all the numbers from 15-20 are closed out along with the bullseye.
How drunk will I be?
Let's just say people don't usually close out all the numbers that easily. Also, by no means choose tequila for this game.
Finally, you can always make up your variation of the games listed above, or invent an entirely new game for that matter. As long as it keeps everyone entertained and woozed, it's cool!
Although the games we mentioned above are super fun and engaging, you don't actually have to bother that much.
Drinking dart games have become so popular that now you can buy a special drinking dart board with all the needed props for your drinking game and specially designed targets.
The most popular one is the Crystal Clear Shot Glass Darts consisting of a magnetic dart board, metal stand, four magnetic darts, and four shot glasses.
If you're worried that some can get injured while playing beer darts or shot darts because of sharp darts, you should definitely get one of these. With magnetic dart boards, there is no way for anyone to get hurt.
