About Dagger Darts
Darts with daggers in a fantasy tavern. Your hand is never still: hold to raise the dagger, watch its point circle your aim, and let go as it settles over the bed you want. Play 501, 301 and Round the Clock against fifteen rival throwers in three taverns, from a village potboy to the Knife-Master of the Gilded Tankard, and practise finishes in thirty checkout trials.
How to play
- Goal
- In 501 and 301, bring your score to exactly zero with a double; in Round the Clock, hit 1 to 20 in order, then the bull; a double moves you on two numbers and a treble three. Use as few daggers as you can, and against a rival, finish first.
- How it ends
- You finish, or the rival finishes first; a checkout trial also ends when its three visits are spent.
- Record
- The fewest daggers for each board; the quicker time breaks a tie.
- Aim by moving the mouse, dragging a finger or the arrow keys. Hold Space, the right mouse button or Throw to raise the dagger, and let go to throw: it lands where the gold point is when you let go.
- The point sways round your aim. It is wild as you raise, steadiest from half a second to three seconds, then grows as your arm tires. Even in the calm it keeps circling, so watch it and let go the moment it passes over your bed.
- In 501 and 301 each visit is three daggers, counted down from the start. Finish on exactly zero with a double or the bull. Going below zero, to one, or to zero without a double is a bust and the visit counts for nothing. A route under the slate shows one way to finish.
- In Round the Clock hit 1 to 20 in order, then the bull; a double skips two numbers, a treble three.
