Darts is a game that originated in England in the 14th century combining archery skills, accuracy, and chance. It involves throwing three darts at a dart board to score points in different numbered sections and the bullseye. The main equipment includes dart pins with flights for stability and grooved shafts for grip, as well as a cork dart board divided into numbered sections. The objective is to close numbered "killer" sections by scoring points in them and reach certain scores in games like 601 that require doubling the last score and getting exactly zero.
