OVERS
This is a simple and quick game. The player should try to score higher
than or equal to the pervious highest score made in a turn. When a player
scores less than the record of three-dart total, a "Life" is then taken away from
the player. By default, each player has 3 lives to spare. However,
Handicaping can extend the player's lives up to 7. The last player stands to
be alive in the game is the winner.
UNDERS
The game is similar to
Overs
, except the objective is to beat the lowest
record of three-dart total. When the three-dart total is higher than the record,
then a "Life" is taken away from the player. A pass of a throw, a hit outside
the scoring area, or a discarded bounce-out dart (i.e., the bounce-out button
was pushed) is penalized with 60 points (3x20, the highest possible one-dart
score). The last player stands to be alive in the game is the winner.
BIG-6
The player tries to earn the chance of picking the next target by making
a hit on the current target first. Single-6 is the first target when the game
starts. Within the three throws, the player has to hit the target once to save
his/her lives. As long as the hit is made by the first or the second throw, the
player has a chance with one throw to select the next target. Singles,
Doubles and Triples are all considered as different targets. The strategy is to
pick the toughest target for the opponents as possible, such as "triple-20" or
"double-Bull's Eye". The last player stands to be alive in the game is the
winner.
CRICKET
Cricket
is a game that is extremely popular in America and Central
Europe. Players adopt defensive or attacking strategy, depending on the
state of the game. At any point in the game, each player can make effort to
increase the score or to attempt blocking other players from scoring.
The game is played with the numbers 15 through 20 and the Bull's
Eye. Each player must mark a number 3 times to
CLOSE
it. A hit of a single
counts as 1 mark; a double counts as 2 marks and a triple counts as 3 marks.
After a number is closed, additional "markings" are converted into scores that
is equal to the number. However, when a number is closed by all players
(
ALL CLOSED
), that number is then no longer available for cumulating
scores. The winner is who has the highest score and closed all the numbers
first. If scores are even, the player who closes all the numbers first wins.
The strategy can be very different if the game is being played with the
restriction that is to close each number in a specific order. Use HANDICAP
function to choose such variations: playing "20 down to 15 then Bull" or "Bull
and then 15 up to 20". Close the numbers in the set sequence. You will see
the difference after playing couple games in this fashion.

NO SCORE CRICKET
This is a simplified version of
Cricket
. The objective is to close all the
numbers as soon as possible. No score is given for hit on a closed number at
any time.
CUT THROAT CRICKET
This is a reversed version of
Cricket
in scoring. Most popularly being
played with 3 players. Two of the players may joint up and sack another
player before they turn to each other for a fight.
After a number is closed, a hit for the scoring is being add to the
opponents' scores. The higher cumulative score is on the losing side.
However, no score will be added to a player who has the number already
closed. The winner is who has the lowest score and closed all the numbers
first. If a player closed all the numbers first but also has a higher score,
he/she must keep on scoring to bring opponents' scores surge over or equal
to his/her score. Hence, the best strategy is to close the numbers as soon as
possible to block others from giving you points, while adding the chance to
penalize others.
KILLER CRICKET
This game is much like the
No Score Cricket
with an added twist.
When a number is closed, the player has a chance to eliminate opponents'
marking by hitting the same number again. However, if the opponent has the
number closed as well, then no marks will be taken away from that player.
Noticing that, instead of turning on a light, each positive marking will turn off a
light on the Cricket Score Board.
The player who closes all the numbers first is the winner.
Example:
For the number 19, Player 1 has 1 hit (hence 1 light off),
Player 2 has 2 hits (hence 2 lights off), and Player 3 has number 19 closed (3
lights off). Player 4 comes up and hits a triple 19, closed number 19 too.
Player 4 then aims and hits single 19 again. In consequence, Player 1 and 2
are being put back one light on 19, and Player 3 is not affected. Which
means, Player 1 and 2 are being pushed back 1 hit away from closing 19.
BILLIARD
This and the next 3 games are new creations that belong to a whole
new ballpark. The goal is to move the cursor from the starting position to fill a
vacant spot at the end point. A hit on any number will move the cursor the
exact steps as the number indicates. Double and triple are no differences
than a single. If the move falls short from landing the cursor on the end point,
then make another throw and try to make up the steps. If a hit overshoots the
number of steps needed, the cursor will then rebound with the excessive
steps from the end point. The cursor is moved along the path as shown in the
illustration. When the spot at the end point is filled, the end point is then
moved one step closer toward the starting point. The winner is who fills all
the vacant spots and moves the end point to the starting point first.
