I play in a dart league, and was looking for a dart board that was as similar to the league boards as possible. Most boards are made of plastic, and the holes are small so the darts bounce out a lot. This board has the same nylon face (and even the same colors) as the league boards at the bars. I've been playing on it for about 2 weeks now and the darts bounce out at about the same rate that they do on the bar boards. There's a lot of games to choose from, but we pretty much stick to the cricket and 01 games. The darts that the board comes with are actually not terrible, but I feel like if you're going to spend $150 on a board, you should probably have a nice set. I build a wood frame with a felt back to house the board, so I could run the cord through the back of the wall, as well as mounted some lights and a laser toe line to finish it off.

The only issue was that it was shipped not in a packing box, but in the manufacturer's box with no type of protection. The first one I received was a little beat up on the outside, but everything inside the box LOOKED alright, until I plugged it in and there was no sound. I tried playing with it for a few days, thinking there may be a stuck segment or something but it didn't work at all. I contacted the seller (wayfair) and they were quick to send out a replacement, and didn't even make me ship back the old one. The new one actually arrived in worse condition than the first, but luckily this time the sound worked fine.

I would definitely recommend this board to anyone who wants as good regulation sized board, but doesn't want to invest in a full arcade-style board. The only complaint I had is with the shipping, but they were quick to rectify the problem, so 5 stars.

Yeah I just beat my wife and she is fantastic at playing. She throws out all these dart terms and I just stare at her. Her excuse for my winning was she wasn't throwing her darts. I'm a bowler and I can't throw a house ball to save my life.
So now that my bragging is over, this dart board is really cool. I asked what she would give and she said 5 stars. She didn't like the sounds but I did. That wasn't something to down star for because there is a mute. It is very accurate and counts the bounce offs. Very few of those.
For the reviews of too tight to pull out, she said, "no. Just twist and pull." I like that it holds the dart because I think it will last longer over the time of stretching the holes out.
I recommend for those that want to get into playing darts. Games are easy to setup.

This is the best soft tip board I've ever played on. Nice features and game selection. The darts actually stick in the board. Very few bounce offs.

I really like the dart board--it has lots of games, it's easy to use, and the darts seem to stick better than my old board with round holes (I use my own darts, not the ones that came with the board). There are two reasons I haven't given this board a 5 star rating. 1) There isn't a way to adjust the volume, only a mute button. The default volume is really loud. 2) The display is nice and large so you don't have to squint to read the scoreboard but it's tough to see in the day light (my board is in the garage so it gets lots of natural light) but when the volume is muted, it's hard to tell if and when your turn is finished. For instance, if you threw a dart that bounced out, the board doesn't tell you whether it registered or not.

With all that being said, it's still a really nice board and I'm sure I'll get used to the display. I've taped over the speaker with duct tape so that you can still hear the call-outs but it's not so loud that my neighbor can hear.

If you like darts, this is the board to get. Unlike some boards, this one displays all the cricket scores in large, easy to read marks. Has some pretty cool games like around the clock, golf, 9 lives, and more!
