Classic Play
DETERMINE WHO GOES FIRST
Play Rock Paper Scissors to determine who goes first.
The winner chooses the first target marker location and the color of their team's Popdarts.
There are three Popdarts per player and they are made of a different color to distinguish between players.
The game is played with two or more players.
CALL YOUR SHOT & TAKE TURNS THROWING
To start a game, player one chooses a location with a smooth surface and places the Target Marker.
Player one also calls the round parameters. For example: Player one places Target Marker on countertop and says, “You have to throw from behind the couch and it only counts if it sticks on the countertop.” Must stand minimum of 10ft from TargetMarker.
Once the parameters are set, the player that placed the Target Marker throws the first Popdart.
Players take turns throwing their Popdarts with the objective of sticking closest to the Target Marker (or landing on top with the PRO Pack).
Continue throwing until all Popdarts have been thrown.
HOW TO SCORE IN A ROUND
After each team has thrown all of their Popdarts, the points will be awarded using “Cancellation Scoring”.
“Cancellation Scoring” = The points of one team cancel out the points of the opponent. (Example: If the blue team scores 5 points and the green team scores 2 points then the blue team wins the round with 3 points.)
Any Popdart that is not standing upright is considered a dead dart and will remain in play until the end of the round.
Landing on top of the Target Marker (PRO Pack only) is worth 10 points. When this happens, there is no 3 point Popdart and all others are worth 1 point.
Closest Popdart that sticks = 3 Points.
Each other Popdart that sticks = 1 Point
Any Popdart that sticks and is touching the Target Marker = 1 additional point (Also, known as a Kiss)
Wigglenobber™ (see term definitions) = Always worth double the points of the Popdart that it sticks to whether it lands on your team or your opponents.
T-Bone (see term definitions) = While this is a very cool shot, it is not worth any additional points.
The team that was awarded points in the previous round chooses the next Target Marker location.
Each game consists of multiple rounds. The first team to reach or exceed 21 points wins.

Board Play
WHAT ARE THE 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.
Target Marker piece not required.
HOW DO YOU SCORE?
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 ONE "Instant Win" attempt per game. The 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.
