Did the game of darts start from sheer boredom?

The natural rings in the tree served as the markings on the first ever dartboard, and since then millions of people worldwide have played.

They both also cost more than the Sphero Ollie, a brand new challenger into the fold. Ollie comes from the same science and physics loving minds behind the Sphero and promises to continue branching fun and physics at an affordable price. You know what? It’s great fun too.  Come check out the Sphero Ollie.
