Last One Standing
In Last One Standing darts every round has one target, the same for everybody. Hit it and you stay in. Miss it with all three darts and a heart breaks. Players drop out one by one while the rest play on, until only one is left.
- Two players or a whole room, bots included
- 1 to 10 lives, shown as hearts
- Three target levels, or Auto to match your average
- Every round is played out, so throwing order can’t decide a game
- Unrated, so your average stays untouched

Rules
How Last One Standing darts works
Everybody starts with the same number of hearts and throws one visit per round, in turn.
- One target per roundEach round brings a new target: a number, a double, a treble or the bull. Everybody throws at the same one, and it lights up on the board.
- Hit it to keep your heartOne hit in your visit and your heart is safe. Miss with all three darts and one heart breaks.
- Hit it twice, win one backTwo hits bring back a lost heart. As soon as there is nothing left to win, your visit ends.
- The last one standing winsLose your last heart and you are out, while the others play on. A round is always finished before a winner is named, so nobody wins just because of the throwing order.
Setting · Hits to stay
What your hits do to a heart
The Hits to stay setting says how many hits keep your heart. One hit more wins a heart back, fewer break one. Here you have two hearts left before the visit:
- Hits to stay: 1×Default
- 0hitsa life less
- 1hitskept
- 2+hitsa life back
- Hits to stay: 2×Harder
- 0 · 1hitsa life less
- 2hitskept
- 3hitsa life back
Setting · Targets
Easy, medium, hard
The level sets what kind of target comes up. Each round draws a new one, and these are typical:
- Easy
- 20
- 7
- 14
- Bull
Whole numbers where any single, double or treble counts, and now and then the bull. Relaxed enough for everybody.
- Medium
- 11
- D8
- T19
- Bull
A good mix of numbers, doubles, trebles and the bull. The classic setting.
- Hard
- D12
- T17
- Bullseye
Only doubles, trebles and the bullseye. Every heart is hard to keep.
Auto is the default and picks the level from your 3-dart average. Below 45 you get Easy, from 45 to 70 Medium, and from 70 up Hard.
Setting · Lives back
Can a heart come back?
You started with three hearts, have two left and hit the target twice. What happens next depends on the Lives back setting:
- Up to the startDefault
Two hits win the lost life back. You never hold more than you started with.
- Up to 2 extraEasier
You can bank up to two lives more than you started with, so games last longer and comebacks happen more often.
- NeverHarder
A lost life is gone for good. Extra hits only keep you safe.
In the game
What you see on screen
Few darts games knock players out while the rest keep playing. This is how everybody keeps track of where they stand:
- The rule, liveT19
1× keeps your life · 2× wins one
Under the target you see what keeps your life and what wins one back. After the visit it shows the result: safe, a life back or a life less.
- Nothing left to change
Once you have won a life back, or kept it with nothing more to win, the visit ends. The board locks with the violet sign until the darts are pulled.
- Out, the rest plays on
- Anna
- BenOutRound 5 · place 3
A player with no lives left drops out. The card stays, dimmed, with the round and finishing place. The others play on and the turn skips that seat.
- Everybody out? A reprieve
A round is always finished before a winner is named. If all remaining players lose their last life in the same round, each gets one life back and play goes on.
- Hearts on every card: full ones are still yours, hollow ones are lost. A breaking heart pops out, a returning one pops in.
- The big target in the turn panel is what everybody throws at this round. It is lit on the board as well.
- Somebody drops out? A big “Out” appears with their name, and from then on the turn skips that seat.
- The caller announces the player and the target before each visit, and the number of hits after it.

Tips
How to stay standing
- Make the first hit safe. One hit keeps your heart, so aim where you are surest of it. On a whole number that is the fat single, not the treble.
- Then go for the second. If you have already lost a heart, a second hit wins it back. That is how comebacks happen.
- Mixed room? Easy targets and 5 lives keep everybody in the game longer. For a room of strong players, try Hard targets with Lives back set to Never.
- At a party: with four to six players and 3 lives a game stays quick, and whoever is out can watch who goes next.
