Hi, this is Rich Buccola here in historic Queens at the world's famous Doyle's Corner,
and on behalf of Expert Village, today we're gonna show you how to throw some darts. Okay,
I'm gonna talk about what you need to play darts. First of all, all you need is really
just three darts, a dartboard, and a light, and you got darts. A real inexpensive game.
What makes darts so famous and so, you know, played all around the world is that no matter
what your age is, your height, your weight, your endurance, your capabilities physically,
it doesn't really matter. Because you could be 3 foot 2 or 6 foot 7, and still throw darts
bad or good. So that's what makes it such a great game. Darts goes back hundreds of
years. It was said that the soldiers or the warriors would play with these short darts,
these short like spears, and they would throw it in to the sides of wine barrels. But as
the game got more complex, what they would actually do is cut down trees, saw the tree
so you would have a, you know, the roundness of the tree where the lines of the actual
tree actually become, later on, become your dart board, and that was how they could get
in close with that. It was even said that they played darts on the Mayflower coming
here. Some people will say it's, it's bogus, I don't really know. It's, it's a lot of you
know, it's a lot of speculation. There's really no determined factors that they've said they
did play on the Mayflower. But, you know what? They're playing it more and more now, and
what happened was, I think, is, they would play these tournaments when they started playing
into the tree as, as targets. As it got cold, they couldn't play outside, the game came
indoors. And as the game came indoors and we progressed, it became darts as we know.
We come back, I'll go over every aspect that I know about darts.
