Dart board

==History==
The origin of darts is hidden deep in the Middle Ages. At that time, gentlemen used to amuse themselves at jousting tournaments and crossbow competitions.\nIn Europe, such tournaments were very popular in the summer as they relieved courtiers from boredom and enabled kings recruit the most battle-hardened and skilful knights for their armies. \nOccasionally, the most courageous sword fighter or accurate archer received expensive gifts or a noble lady as his prize.\nWhereas archery had been a military duty during the legendary Robin Hood´s time, it turned into a mere pastime for dartclub members during the 20th century. Soon, the toy industry produced wooden dart boards and plastic darts with metal tips.\nWhen the electronics age arrived, more and more bar and café owners bought or rented dart-machines which automatically calculated the points scored and which needed clients to put a coin into a slot if they wanted to play them.
