Count Up, my friend, is probably the simplest darts game out there, but as your buddy, I find it incredibly effective for pure scoring practice and just having competitive fun! There are no complicated rules, no doubles to hit, and no specific numbers to aim for. The objective is simply to score as many points as you can.
You and your buddies take turns throwing three darts. You just add up the score of your three darts. The game usually runs for a set number of rounds (like 5, 10, or 20 rounds), or until someone reaches a predetermined total score. The player with the highest total score at the end wins. Count Up is an excellent game for beginners to get comfortable with basic scoring, and for experienced players to focus purely on hitting their high-scoring zones, especially that Triple 20\. It encourages aggressive scoring and helps build your confidence in hitting those big numbers without the pressure of needing a specific checkout. It's a great warm-up or cool-down game that really sharpens your ability to consistently find the triples.
