Book Description

What a concept! A calendar that works as a magnetic dartboard! Promising a year of entertainment wherever it goes on the wall, Darts! is an everything-you-need kit for a dozen classic and new dart games—from 301 to Baseball, from Around the Clock to Foxhunt to Shanghai. The custom-designed, full-color boards—one for each month—are energetic and visually striking, and each spread includes easy-to-follow instructions for the featured game. Plus there are no sharp points to worry about: The six brightly colored, blunt-tipped darts contain magnets, which are attracted to the calendar because of a metal insert. Play with family, play with friends, organize a tournament in the dorm or at the office. Bull's-eye!

I just had to buy this calendar when I saw it.

My kids like having a calendar in their room, and my 6-year-old son in particular enjoys looking at the days of the month. However, I never got him a calendar last year, because the subjects are so specific -- Thomas the Train? No, he's outgrown that phase. Superheros? Not really. A specific movie? There are none that he likes that much.

When I saw this one, I was sold. The magnetic darts are self-contained in the calendar (we'll see how it holds up), and each month offers an additional game to use them on -- from the traditional dartboard, to trying to hit bowling pins.

This review is from: Darts! Calendar 2011 (Calendar)

I brought this calendar for three years now and I'm still not bored of it.
Each month brings a new 'dartboard' and different gameplay - all of which are creative.
Sometimes you won't even have a dartboard at all: you might have, instead, a golf course, a pyramid or even a pool table.
The magnetic board is actually decent. It works.
The dates are presented in a typical calendar chart and very spacious for all your jottings.
I could not find any flaws with this calendar.
