 '''Darts''' is a popular game of skill that can also be played without any skill.  Many versions of darts exist and it is a popular event often hosted by [[CHE]]s and [[MHO]]s, who can place dart boards in their structures.  Some groups have even come up with games unique to [[Elanthia]].  Public dart boards are also available in places like the [[Hearthstone Manor]] game room.
