The Varsity Darts drinking game

Varsity Darts is all about the sporting prowess, the fierce competition, the will power that separates mere mortals from the Gods of throwing metal.

But it’s also about consuming copious amounts of alcohol surrounded by your biggest rivals. For those that don’t manage to get kicked out before the contest starts, this drinking game is the perfect way to combine your love of darts with your thirst for booze.
