I asked around a little when I was up there. It definitely takes some listening before you can just do them.
We had at least one game that reminds me of it. Lawn darts...but those you fire from a wrist-mounted thing. Darn things were more dangerous than anyone realized, so I never got to play them.
The other kind of darts you don't wanna be around...they're either meant to inject you with something or kill you, and they come out of a gun. Nasty things.
