If you're a casual player but looking for something that is a bit higher quality than The Viper Shot King, then the Unicorn Eclipse Pro could well be the best dart board to fit your requirements. It is a quality built board at a competitive price, and ticks nearly all the boxes when it comes to the features you’d be hoping to find in a quality dart board, which is why it has proven itself to be one of the most popular dart boards on the market. While it isn’t quite as well built as the Winmau Blade 5, you shall at least find no staples on the wiring, so you should find that bounce-outs will be greatly reduced, allowing for a much more enjoyable experience, and also higher scoring. The board itself is very durable, and should easily be able to handle being constantly used without getting severely damaged. The downfall for this board is the setup process. The rubber bumpers included can cause instability, so an alternative way of mounting this dart board is advised.

Pros Staple-free. Highly durable. A solid buy for the price between the cheaper and more expensive dart boards. Cons Default mounting not the most conventional. Can't quite compete with dart boards at only a slightly higher price.

Made in the UK and endorsed by the American Dart Organization for usage in tournaments, the Nodor Supawire 2 dart board is a popular choice, and for good reason. It is regulation size, so is a decent choice for any darts enthusiast looking to take their game to the next level whether it's at home, down the pub, or simply to use for practice in preparation for an upcoming tournament. A prime feature is the removable number ring, allowing you to easily move the board if you start to notice a bit of wear and tear in specific locations, prolonging the board's shelf life. It also has a completely staple-free 'Supabull' to allow for maximum scoring opportunities and excellent East African sisal fibres that provide the necessary self-healing for a dart board that receives a significant amount of use. We consider the pricing to be reasonable for this board considering the quality, and is a nice fit between wanting something slightly higher-end than the Viper Shot King, but not quite wanting to pay full price for the Winmau Blade 5.

Pros Bands & dividers reduce bounce-out rate. Number ring can be moved. Cons Although it's not quite up there with the top 2, cons are hard to come by with this board.



It wouldn't seem fair to not at least include one electronic dart board within this list, as you might find that this might be the best choice for you. Electronic dart boards often come with many built in extras such as multi-player game modes and the ability to store data and averages, and are also much safer for all the family to join in with. The board in question comes with 40 pre-programmed game modes to choose from, so you can rest assured knowing there are hours of fun to be had. There are many options to choose from if you decide to opt for an electric dart board, but the Arachnid Cricket pro is one of the best at what it does. It is a regulation sized electronic dart board, and while a bit pricer than a regular bristle dart board, is actually pretty good value for money considering all the additional features. The board is very portable, so can be taken on trips away or easily setup in a new location for a party, and is capable of tracking the average point per dart after each round. Another feature worth mentioning, albeit only for entertainment purposes, is the boards 'heckler' feature. There are three levels of harshness to choose from, of which the sound effects shall praise or heckle players depending on the performance. Admittedly this is not for everybody, and can easily be switched on and off as you please. The board is designed to have minimal bounce-outs, but as with any soft-tip dart board, you can still expect the odd bounce-out now and again. The board comes with 6 soft-tip darts and additional dart tips, but they are not the best quality, so you may prefer to invest in some higher-end soft tip darts.

The board comes with six magnetic darts, so you can easily pick it up and start playing right away.
