How to Play
The most popular dart game can now be played with Lawn Darts! The objective of the game is to "close out" numbers 15 through 20, along with bullseyes, by hitting each number three times. Players get three lawn dart tosses per round, and there is a maximum of sixteen rounds to throw. The player to close out all numbers and earn the highest amount of points wins.

Scoring and Strategy
The scoring in Cricket is unique, because only select numbers are active in the game. These active numbers are: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and bullseye (more commonly known as B). To win the game a player must "close out" all of these by hitting three of each number.

Once a player hits one of these numbers, he will receive a slash ( / ) next to that number indicating it has been hit once. If that number has been hit twice, it will be indicated on the screen with an ( X ). If a number has been hit three times and is "closed" it will have an ( X ) with a circle around it, next to the number.

Players can also hit a "double" which will count as two hits towards a number. The doubles section is the outer ring surrounding the entire dartboard, along with the double bullseye. A player can also hit a "triple" which will count as three of that number, and can close out a number in one shot! This is the inner ring on the dartboard.

Earning Points
If a player "closes" any of the numbers and his opponents do not have that particular number closed, that player can proceed to score points on that number. Anyone with that number closed can score points, even if only one player in that particular game still has that number open. This is the case in both two, three, and four player games.

How to Win
Once a player has all the numbers and bullseyes closed and he/she has the highest total amount of points, they win the game. If a player has all numbers closed but not the highest total points, he must hit an opponent(s) open numbers to achieve the highest total points in that game.

Scoreboard
The scoreboard displays the current score, round, and remaining darts per player. When a player is up, their remaining darts will light up to represent how many tosses that player has left. Below the score, players can see how many tosses they have made for that game. The lower the better, so hit those triples!

Wind
The wind indicator shows the strength and direction of the wind. As the innings progress the wind gets stronger! Players can battle the wind by spinning the trackball forward left or forward right while throwing a dart, or by adjusting their aim using the trackball prior to their toss.

Shot Angle
The shot angle indicates what angle a lawn dart will fly at. High shots fly further and higher, but they are also impacted more by the wind. A lower angled shot will not travel as far, but will stay low and fly through stronger winds.

Environments
There are three different virtual environments in which games randomly take place: the backwoods at beautiful Camp Blackfoot, the bright and busy Morgan County Fair, and the sandy, sunny Hanamalu Bay.
