Abstract
The dart board game includes a dart, a target board having a target face, and cooperating elements for retaining, on the target face, a removably mounted marker on the dart. Such cooperating elements can consist of cooperating 'Velcro' strip material. The dart includes a resilient and flexible portion at which the dart body is removably engaged with the marker, so that upon impact of the dart against the target board, the resilient portion of the dart flexes to allow the Velcro strip to engage without disengagement due to bouncing. This flexing motion compresses the resilient portion, which, as it expands, propels the dart body away from the target board to disengage the dart from the marker. In playing one embodiment of the game, in order for the 'score' of a marker to count, the player throwing the dart must catch the rebounding dart body after an impact on the target board.
