Darts is a form of throwing sport where darts are thrown at a circular target (dartboard) fixed to a wall. Though various boards and sports have been used in the past, the term "darts" usually now refers to a standardised game involving a specific board design and set of rules. As well as being a professional competitive sport, darts is a traditional pub sport, commonly played in the United Kingdom, across the Commonwealth, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, the Scandinavian countries, the United States and elsewhere.
