History of Darts
The origin of the game is not completely certain but it likely started when actual darts were used in wars in ancient times. Miniature darts were developed as an accuracy game for soldiers to play in their off time in order to hone their accuracy for battle. The oldest versions of the game were simple targets with the bulls eye in the center that eventually morphed into the circular board design with point markings on the outer ring. Darts have come a long way in their manufacturing and electronic scoring mechanisms, but the core of the game and what draws humans to it remains the same.
