My brother threw a dart on the back of another dart by accident, and it worked! the darts just stayed in place until we took them out, it was amazing and 100% true.

I'd really wanna play darts, but I'm not old enough to go to bars ;D

I know I could just purchase a REAL dartboard and a few good darts, but playing it alone is not the same. I actually noticed that I play better when people are watching, for some reason. By the way, 301 is really fun, but it's kinda hard to count if you don't write everything down.

I've since purchased an electronic dartboard which has helped considerably - as have your comments. Still haven't figured it all out (too busy playing 301, etc), but I'm getting there.

In the game cricket, you have to hit each number 3 times, to Close that number. For example, with the Number 20; Either one Triple or One Double One Single, or 3 Singles. And each number is done that way(20-15, and Bull). If you hit one number 3 times, anything more is the number's value. So for the 20, lets say you hit the Triple and a single, you would Close that number and get 20 pts. However, no points are given if the other person closed it before you. I hope this helps you.

After listening to this, still don't have a clue how to play. For example, don't understand the scoring at all. How do the numbers relate to the board? Do I have to hit a "20" on the board with a single dart or equal "20" with a combination of dart throws? He said something about stopping the other guy from scoring by "doing the same thing on this side." How is that done? Why did he draw an "x" with a circle? How is the score totaled in the end? Clearly, I'll look elsewhere for better guidence.
