Darts
意味: A traditional pub throwing game.
Darts is the quintessential British pub game—throwing small pointed missiles at a circular board. 'A game of darts' or 'playing arrows' (slang). Professional darts has become a major sport, but pub darts remains a social activity. Every proper pub should have a dartboard.
