Boards are generally makeshift using a cross section of a tree-trunk. Normally 2 or 3 concentric rings with a bullseye in the center. Closest throw to the bullseye earns more points, rules are often very similar to outdoor archery competions. Normally three darts are thrown, but the rules can vary quite a lot depending on region.
