Shove Ha'Penny
A quick and simple game for 2 or more players. The winner is the first player to close all numbers from 1 through 9 ie. hit 3 of each number. This can be done in any order and players can score any target number at any time, rather than just trying for 3 of 1 at once. The thin outer ring counts as 2 and the thin inner ring as 3. Players throw 3 darts on each turn, and a twist to this game is that if a number is closed by more than 3 points, then extra points are given away to another player. If there are more than 2 players, there are various ways of deciding who to give the extra points to, and this needs to be agreed before play begins. One way is to give the points to the next player to throw, another is to give them to the player who most needs them and the third option is for the player to choose who gets them. The only time points aren't given away is if doing so would cause the receiving player to win. The winner must throw the winning dart themselves.
