A steel-tip dartboard is a hard thing to allow in a house with children, and this board is the answer to that argument. The darts carry a magnet instead of a point, so they snap onto the board rather than sticking into it, and a dart that misses simply bounces off the wall instead of leaving a hole in the paint or a mark on a sibling.

The board is double-sided. One face is the classic dartboard with numbers 1 to 20 round the edge, doubles and trebles rings and a bullseye, for anyone who wants to play proper 301 or Around the Clock. Turn it round and the other face is a yellow and black bullseye target with rings scored 10 to 80, which is far easier for a six-year-old to add up.

It hangs from a rope tied to a black rod across the top, so it goes up on any hook or door handle in seconds and comes down just as fast. The board is soft and flexible: after play it rolls up and slides into its cylindrical storage tube, which keeps the darts and board together in a cupboard or suitcase.

A printed rules sheet comes with the set, covering a simple bullseye scoring game and the general rules of darts, so the first evening does not start with an argument about who won.

Darts quietly train hand-eye coordination, aim and mental arithmetic, and the target side turns adding scores into part of the fun. It suits bedrooms, drawing rooms, school fun fairs and picnics, anywhere a hook or branch can take the rope.
