X01

X01 is the most popular and widely played darts game in the world. Whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or a competitive player sharpening your skills, X01 is the foundation of modern darts. In the King of Darts app, you can play X01 exactly the way it’s played in pubs, leagues, and professional tournaments.

How Does the X01 Darts Game Work?

In X01, players start with a fixed score — most commonly 501, 301, or 701. The goal is simple: be the first to reach exactly zero points.

Each dart you throw subtracts its value from your remaining score. For example:

  • Hitting Triple 20 (T20) scores 60 points

  • Hitting Bullseye scores 50 points

  • Singles, doubles, and triples all count toward reducing your total

Double Out: The Classic X01 Finish

Most X01 games are played with a double out rule. This means:

  • Your final dart must land in a double field (or the bullseye)

  • If you go below zero or finish without a double, the turn is a bust, and your score resets to what it was before the turn

This rule adds strategy, pressure, and excitement — especially in close matches.
