Ann and Addem’s Dartboard Game is a great narrated game from the Number Time section of the BBC website. In order to reach the target score, you must place the dart in the correct number spot on the dartboard. Remember that on a dartboard the outer spaces are double that of the inner ones. To move the darts, touch the dart to pick it up, then touch the spot where it should be released (this is not click, hold, drag, drop). There are also options for 3 different levels and the ability to remove the timer. Have a look!

Also, you can ask your fellow colonists and the Native Americans for advice. Be careful, though, because some advice is better than others! Check it out!
