Rules for Scram

Scram is a two-player game, one player will be the scorer and the other will be the blocker. The numbers 1 - 20 are written on the scoreboard. The blocker throws their darts first. Each number that is hit is marked off the board. The scorer will then throw trying to score as many points as possible using the numbers that are left (doubles and triples count). Once the blocker has marked off all the numbers, the scorer totals their score, and the two players trade roles. The winner is the player that can score the most points.

If you are the blocker, hit the largest numbers first. Ideally, you will want to knock out the cricket numbers since they are the ones most people are use to throwing at. If you are the scorer, throwing at the largest number available may or may not be the best strategy. It you can shoot 17s much more accurately than the 18s, and they are both available, go ahead and shoot at the 17s. Hitting three 17s is better than hitting one or two 18s!

The game is easy to understand, yet deceptively addictive!
