Reseña del editor:

"Nothing fancy - just lots of ways to play the game of darts. Does what it says on the tin."

Statistics show that over seven million people in Britain alone regularly play darts, yet the basic game of 501–up is neither particularly complex nor especially interesting, compared for example with chess or football.

JABEZ GOTOBED has assembled the leading traditional variants of games played on the standard dartboard, and has devised more than forty entirely new types of game, with their own variations, here published for the first time. Some of the new games will undoubtedly become classics, in particular Ibrox, Marilyn Monroe, White City Dogs, General Election, and Wimbledon. Every darts player will have his own favourite, but treasure GOTOBED ON DARTS as the finest compendium of darts games ever to be published between the covers of one book.

The book is provided with introductory essays on the dartboard and the darts themselves, as well as a glossary of familiar and unusual terms culled from the game’s sanctuaries all over the British Isles.
