501/301/101:

Players start with a score of 501 (or 301 or 101, depending on the variant).
The goal is to reduce the score to exactly zero.
Players take turns throwing three darts and subtract the total from their current score.
The game is usually played in sets, and the first player to reach zero wins.

Cricket:

The numbers 15 through 20 and the bullseye are the targets.
Players aim to close these numbers by hitting three of a kind or the bullseye.
Once a player closes a number, they score points for hitting it, and the opponent cannot score on that number.
The game continues until all numbers are closed, and the player with the highest score wins.

Around the Clock:

Players take turns hitting each number on the dartboard in numerical order (1 through 20).
Once a player hits the current target number, they move on to the next.
The first player to work all the way through to 20 wins.

Killer:

Each player claims their own number and starts with three lives.
To become a "killer" you must first hit the double of your own number.
Once a killer, you remove a life each time you hit an opponent's number.
The last player with lives remaining wins.

Baseball:

Players take turns hitting singles, doubles, triples, and home runs (based on the numbers on the dartboard).
The goal is to score as many "runs" as possible in a set number of rounds.
Each player's score is recorded based on their hits and runs.

Shanghai:

The target number advances each round, from 1 up to 20.
Score points by hitting singles, doubles and triples on that round's number.
Hitting the single, double and triple of the number in one turn is an instant "Shanghai" win; otherwise the highest score after 20 rounds wins.

Halve-It:

Each round sets a target (a number, any double, any triple, or the bull).
Hit the target to add to your score; miss it for a whole round and your score is halved.
The player with the highest score after all the targets wins.
