Who goes first?
Settle it before the Killer argument starts. Pick how many players, add names if you like, and spin.
Keeping score too? Doodle Score remembers your players and tallies every round.
How to score
- Each player is assigned a number (often by hitting a double to claim it).
- Hit your own double to become a Killer.
- As a Killer, hit an opponent’s number to take a life. They start with 5 lives.
- Lose all lives and you are out. Last player standing wins.
Questions
Can I kill myself? Hitting your own number after you are a Killer often costs you a life. Do not bounce back onto your number.
When am I a Killer? After you have hit your own double (or the agreed “become Killer” mark). Until then you can only work on your number.

Game Identity
- Name: Killer
- Player Count: 3–8 players. Standard: 4–6. (Not suitable for 2 players.)
- Teams: No teams. All players compete individually.
- Theme: Social darts game where each player is assigned a random number to defend and attack. Eliminate other players by hitting their number.
Scoring Mechanics
- Scoring Variant: Evasion / Elimination — players lose lives when their number is hit by others. Last player standing wins.
- Target Score: N/A — lives-based elimination.
- Unit of Scoring: Lives (standard: 5 per player).
- Lower vs. Higher: Fewer lives lost is better; last with lives wins.
Rules & Validation
Setup
- Each player randomly draws a number from the dartboard (1–20). No two players share the same number.
- Each player starts with 5 lives.
Per-Turn Logic
- Each player throws 3 darts per turn.
- Becoming a Killer: A player must first hit their own number with a double to become a "Killer." Until they are a Killer, they cannot target other players.
- Once a Killer: Each time a Killer hits another player's number with a double, that player loses 1 life.
- Losing Lives: A player who reaches 0 lives is eliminated and leaves the game.
- Killing Yourself: If a Killer hits their own number with a double, they lose a life.
Validation Rules
- Lives per player decrease monotonically from 5 toward 0.
- A player must be a Killer (has hit their own double) before their attacks on others count.
- Player cannot attack once eliminated.
Special Actions / Bonuses
- Suicide: A Killer hits their own double and loses a life.
- Bullseye Rule (optional): Bullseye counts as a double for any number the player names before throwing.
Win Conditions
- Condition: Last player with lives remaining wins.
- Tie-Breaker: If two players eliminate each other simultaneously (last dart of a turn), the player who threw last is out — the other wins.
