Pub game

Many pub games owe their origins to older outdoor sports, adapted and transformed over time for indoor play, either for convenience or to allow publicans to maintain their teams during the off-season.

Darts is a game that involves the throwing of small missiles at a circular target, called a dartboard.

An Aunt Sally was originally a figurine head of an old woman with a clay pipe in her mouth, or subsequently a ball on a stick.

Traditionally played in pubs and fairgrounds, the object of the game was for players to throw sticks at the head to break the pipe.

The game is still played in Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem, in Nottingham, which claims to be Britain's oldest pub.

Quoits is a game that involves the throwing of metal, rope or rubber rings over a set distance, usually to land over or near a spike.

The sport encompasses several distinct variations which are played either indoors on a small elevated table, or outside on a marked strip.

The aim of the game is to score as many points as possible by potting balls down the holes before either the time runs out or a skittle is knocked over.

Ha'pennies or similarly-sized coins or metal discs are placed at one end of the board and are shoved with a quick flick of the hand.

A variation of this game has been played in pubs in East Sussex, UK, the 'hole' being in the centre of the lead surface.
