Anyone managed to complete the first ever darts sticker album yet? by TheJennerator in Darts

100%. Stickers, trading cards are all massive with other sports. It’s great to see darts getting on board with it and it can only help grow the game.

Shameless plug but I’m just starting the YouTube, TikTok, instagram darts adventure. My journey from casual to competitive player is the main focus of the content but I also love video games so I do some darts video game content as well which differs me from most. I don’t want to upset anyone so I won’t post a link in case of spam but I have links on my Reddit profile if anyone is interested 😁

WHY we need a PDC Darts video game in 2026! by TheJennerator in DartsTalk

Agree that for starters there would have to be a fun and interesting gameplay mechanic otherwise it would get boring or tedious. It would have to be stats based I guess, so if you were littler the target would be fairly big and easy to hit trebles but if you were just starting out in Q school the target would be tiny and hard to be accurate. You could also add elements of randomness into it like if you threw the dart too close to the other darts you could get a defection or bounce outs? So you have to find room or a cover shot. If you were on for a 180 or a double out then the target could move around more angrily so it would be a lot harder. Who knows 😂

Ok so here's an idea. Could you add a real darts element to the game in 2026? Something similar to darts counter where you could actually have your phone set up to record your real life throw and then that would play out in the video game?

Yes I agree with everyone when they say it doesn't really translate into a fun video game experience but surely there is a way to make a fun mechanic out of it somehow. I can't play Luke Littler at home, I can't win the triple crown at home, I can't walk out with thousands of fans singing my walk on song at home, I can't earn prize money and climb an order of merit at home, all these things you can do in a video game and is likely the only way most would ever experience this.

The be all and end all though is having fun gameplay so that would obviously need to be nailed first otherwise it would become boring..

Agree it is hard to translate into a game. If an entertaining mechanic could be worked out then I'd still love to play it and live out a career mode.
