History of HAG: This Game was created by Ari Asch, with help from David Brunner, Chris Jordan and David C. Was originally played with a six sided die, and was only for the cricket numbers 20 through bullseye, represented as 20 being one, 19 being 2, ect, to bullseye at 6. Originally Ari liked the name 11-13, then when people played it at Dave Brunner's place he liked to call it "Happy Hour" (score keeping originally was not written, thus it was harder to keep score after "happy Hour"). After a while people would say, "oh Ari's game". With that, "Happy Hour" and "Ari's Game" was shortened to HAG.

It took no time to evolve the game to a 20 sided die(What nerd doesn't like throwing a 20). Each number would represent what you would have to throw. Whats nice is that you can play it with as many players as you want. Each taking a throw at the number rolled for them, and then rolling(usually) for the player after them.

RULES of HAG: Who goes first can be determined by either throwing for closest to bullseye, or rolling for highest on the 20 sided die. Everyone starts at 11 points. Your number is rolled by the person that goes before you(example if 3 players, last player rolls) If you hit your number it will count as one point, a double counts as 2 triple counts as 3. If you miss you LOSE 2 point(Hence the original title 11-13) If you have missed, on your next turn you will not get a new roll/number, but instead will stay on the number you missed previously. The object is to get to zero points(Preferable still "Hagging") before your opponents. If one throws and misses his number, loses 2 points at any time in the game, that player is no longer "hagging" If a player reaches 25 points through misses it is automatic loss. Objectively you want to "HAG" in as few turns as possible. Its seems you would only be able to achieve this in 2 turns at best, with 3 triples being 9 points. This is where "Turkeys" comes into play. Turkey is all 3 darts in your assigned number. It may score anywhere from 3 to 9 points depending on the scores hit. If a player hits a "Turkey" he is able to choose to throw again, at no loss penalty. He will have a chance to throw again. This can also be declined as missing will not make you lose all position from where you started but it will disqualify the "Hag". (example: I started at 11 points, hit 3 regular inside my number, I am at 8 points, choose to continues and then miss all of that number, the previous points are lost, the score stays at 11 with no penalty other than no longer "Hagging". And a new number will be rolled on the next round)

Score Keeping: 3 columns are drawn or represented across the scoreboard. The top column represent the players score. the 2nd column is used if a player misses and becomes stuck on a number. That missed number is written here until the player hits it, and clears it, for a fresh roll. the 3rd column is used to mark the "HAG". Each turn when a player hits his number and is eligible for a new roll is considered a "HAG" Again once a player has missed he is no longer "Hagging" so the bottom teir of the scoreboard can quickly become non-defacto
