Remember lawn darts? Unless you grew up during the 1980s, you don’t, because the government decided that people lobbing giant darts with four-inch pointed metal spikes on the end was a terrible idea — so they were banned. But these Copter Darts appear to provide a similar type of gameplay, minus the risk of sending your opponents to the hospital.
Like with lawn darts you designate a target, and then attempt to toss and land your darts as close to that target as possible. The deadly metal spike has been replaced with a soft rounded tip that keeps the darts standing when they land, and won’t hurt nearly as much if it hits you. The $US30 darts also features fins that work like helicopter blades, slowing down their spinning descent and giving players a chance to get out of the way — an important safety feature the original lawn darts were sorely lacking.
