HOW TO PLAY BOARD EDITION

Popdarts Board Edition Official Rules

• Start the game with 2 teams. Singles (1 per team) or Doubles (2 per team).

• Opposing teams have 3 Popdarts each and alternate throwing from the same side.

• When all 6 Popdarts have been thrown, count up the points using cancellation scoring.

• The team that is awarded points starts the next round.

• Orange Target Marker piece not required.

• Each Popdart completely inside the white PD circle = 6 points.

• Each Popdart completely inside the grey circle = 3 points. It can be touching the white inner circle.

• Every other Popdart that sticks on the board = 1 point.

• Use "Cancellation Scoring". The points of one team cancel out the other. E.g. 5 blue - 2 green = 3 blue.

• Each player gets three "Instant Win" attempts per game. Each attempt must be called prior to throwing. If it does not land completely inside the team's "Instant Win" circle, then the Popdart is removed from the board and normal play continues.

• Play multiple rounds. The first team to reach 21 or more points WINS!
