Ensemble de jeu de fléchettes et d'armoires électroniques Fat Cat Mercury

Nice to play

This board is great. The audio is perfect...not too much talking and not a bunch of crazy noises, just enough to let you know when it’s the next players turn or when you’ve thrown a good dart. Audio volume is just right. My family and I have really enjoyed it so far. This is our first electronic board, and now my 11-year-old is hooked on darts. We’ve had friends over to play and they also seem to be impressed with the quality of the board and features. Everyone really likes the cricket scoreboard on the side panel, and in a standard game of 501 the cricket board keeps track of how many darts have hit the board for each players turn. Certainly not an essential bit of info, but nice to have that visual confirmation. The number display for the scores could be a little bigger (for those of us older folks with less than perfect eyesight) but that is a very minor complaint. The darts are a little on the cheap side, as they are not very heavy and the tips wear down pretty quickly. I think we are starting to get a lot of bounce-outs due to the worn tips. That being said I’d rather have a great board and sub-par darts. Darts are cheap and easy to substitute at a later time. The exterior of the board is so-so...not the cheapest contact paper applique I’ve ever seen but certainly not a high pressure laminate or melamine. It is probably a high-grade vinyl appliqué or maybe a low-grade melamine. Exterior appearance was not of great concern to me, as it was all about the performance and function of the board itself. It certainly aces all of those requirements for me. The instruction manual is a little confusing for a first-time electronic board owner, but it is written in understandable English so that’s a plus. The power cord length is good (did not measure but it’s at least 6 feet) which allowed me to place the board exactly where I wanted on the wall in the room. I’m sure there are ‘A-grade’ boards out there with much higher price tags, but for occasional home or office use I definitely would recommend to a friend. FYI in the photo is shows the rule book hanging on a magnet clip...I added that bit myself...please note that it does not come with the board.
