    So everybody pretty much goes for the same thing - triple 20, and the only time they go for anything else is when looking for an out.

    So how about inventing a new darts board - some kind of mechanical one made up of rings that would move so every game you are aiming for somewhere new.

    Probably a stupid idea I know, just thought of it there, don't play darts myself but have watched it on the telly on occasion

    oh just thought of a better idea - all the numbers could be a digital readout so they could all be shuffled before each game !

    Quality! Any idea where you could pick up any of those boards? Could be a laugh to play on a night in with a few beers.

    You could just play random cricket or something?

    Edit: want them boards.

    highest score possible: 240
    highest finish: 210

    I used to play a game for me finishing.......called Darts Golf.......i read about it on another forum.

    Basicly you pick 18 random finshes and make up how darts it should take you to finish:
    eg:

    Hole 1: 89 - Par 3
    Hole 2: 125 - Par 5
    Hole 3: 170 - Par 6
    Etc etc etc

    Its not bad for finishing.
