Janice Roland: I love the durability of this board and it has several games you can play and keeps score for you
Great gift for my husband he loves it it is a little hard to get the darts out sometimes but that’s all ok.

Rae Ablan: We Are LOVING this board.
I learned to play darts on the arachnid machines that you feed cash to, at the bar. I used to play often with friends and really enjoyed the experience. I was looking for that same feeling in purchasing a board for home use.
The large machines at the bars are usually made by this same brand so I was hoping for the same quality and feel. I am pleased to report that I did get the quality and feel I was looking for.
We have had 3 game nights using this board and are really enjoying playing all the standard games. We like the sound of the announcement on the board and while it is loud, if you have a group of 4 to 6 people in your game room or play movies or Tv (like we do) then the volume is great.
My husband and I both really like the darts that came with this board. Others are describing them as "heavy" and resulting in "heavy throws" which make it hard to get the darts out. We are not finding that. In fact, I was concerned about this issue based on other reviews. I went ahead and ordered the "Dart pro soft tip plastic darts, 4 colors, pack of 12". We played with the arachnid darts and had great accuracy, nice grip and NO BOUNCE OUTS or misses....

Scott W: The media could not be loaded.  Unlike some of the other reviews, mine came well packaged and clearly unopened. Only been using it for a few days but have played a good number of games. The board itself is just like the coin-ops at the bar. I can read the scores and cricket lights without a problem. Computer opponent is okay but can be beat easily on highest level in cricket and almost impossible to beat at any level in Bermuda. Still better than playing alone as you can still test your game strategy. I think the darts it came with are pretty good quality for the "included" variety. I have tried all the types of tips I have (the included ones, some older ones, and stubbies). All stick fine with the same amount of bounce out as you get on any board (my own tips are pretty beat up anyway). Mounts sturdy with two mounting points. Has a lot of games, but I bought it primarily for 301, 501, cricket, and Bermuda. I will have to try the others sometime. As far as the darts being hard to remove from board, you need to remove them properly (twist clockwise and pull). Sound is a bit loud even on low but I am glad this does not have heckler as that is annoying. I suggest mounting board...

Luthien: Being a league shooter I figured I would try to give a logical review:

Pros:
-Regulation (tournament) size / arachnid colors.
-Thick board, braces well against dart throws, very few bounce outs with 16gram or bigger darts. Some reviewers have said it's hard to pull the darts out: personally I love it. Most dart throwers know you have to twist the dart clockwise to easily remove any dart, but the board is solid and catches darts as well as a brand new arachnid stand-up board.
-Shows 4 players scores at once unlike most others with 2 score screens, if that.
-Next player button only has to be hit once and power button is far enough away that you won't accidentally turn the game off.
-Cricket colors (green to orange to red) are easy to tell the difference and I don't have perfect 20/20 vision. Not to mention once you close a score for all players it flashes red so you know it's closed.

Cons:
-Like most boards, this one doesn't give the option to turn off double bull so you can get 50 points for a single. You can just skip the turn back to yourself, give yourself another single bull and then skip back to the next player to make up the...
