Me and my roomie would play a lot of darts but after a while, cricket can get a little old. I like my bristle board over electronic darts but most of the games would require a little math and that's the last thing I want to do while enjoying an evening of darts.Having this mounted on the wall has opened up a lot more game options for us. It's a good size, works on ac or dc. I used batteries because I did not like seeing the cord come down the wall and the batteries lasted a lot longer than I expected. It goes to sleep if we forget to turn it off and also comes with a game manual. Darts became much more fun when we could play more than just cricket. Also when mounted properly, it is very solid against the wall.The only thing that stopped me from giving it a 5 is the vinyl touch pad quickly started falling off. It was easily held in place with tape so no big deal but felt I should mention that. Over all, I have really enjoyed this product and would buy one again if needed.

I play a lot of Cricket and thought this might be a nice improvement over a chalk or dry erase board that would continually require clean-up.So far it's functioning okay but has some issues:1. The Cricket variants use colored LED's to show you the status of play and they go from Green (/) to Orange (\) to Red (O). The problem is that the orange and red are often extremely similar except at specific angles. At some angles they both appear red.2. The touchpad surface works well so far but for some unknown reason the makers used blue for the color of the numbers on the black backgrounds. They're extremely hard to read as a result.3. The unit will sometimes lock-up on a fresh start just sitting there. You have to power it down and leave it dead for 5 or more seconds and then power back up when this happens.4. One feature that's mentioned is the ability to play the computer. This seemed like a great feature for me as I'm the main player in the house and want to practice. It works for that but there really isn't any AI. It turns out the unit just runs through pre-canned lists of shots. I first realized something was up when it became apparent that the computer player will NEVER hit a 20 first and almost always hits a 19 first followed closely by bulls. I then started jotting down its opening 3 shots to see that they do in fact repeat.5. The unit claims to support eight players. However, it doesn't rotate scoring for those that aren't up. Thus, in a five-player game when the first four players are up you can't tell what the score of the fifth player is and when he's up you can't see the scores of the first four. I just assumed the scores would rotate back and forth.6. Computer players are slow. It seems they're paced to give the impression of real players and it's frustrating to stand around waiting for a phantom to throw three darts in "real time". There's no way to tell it to play faster. Furthermore the prompts are confusing. The computer will finish and the unit will declare, "Next Player". So you get set and just get ready to throw and then the unit blurts out, several seconds after the last comment, "Player One", just in time to distract you. Why it needs this delay is a total mystery. You can stop it by hitting the Next Player button which apparently is what the first prompt is suggesting but why? The computer is done. There's nothing else to be done. Just move to the next player immediately.7. The unit has a LIMITED ability to correct mistakes. Generally it can go back one set of darts and that's it. If you hit Next Player, and realize you have a problem, you're done. Start over.Overall I still like the unit but for the price I expect more. I want this type of convenience over a chalk or dry erase board. If I must I'd pay more for it though there isn't much out there to compete with this.

This is a great compliment to any bristle board. It has a ton of games and is easy to operate. I have the same minor complaints as some other reviewers; that the player announcer sometimes comes on when you're already in your throwing motion and that what everyone hit in cricket is not visible if you're playing with more than 2 players. However, I love 501 and 301 and this is an easy and convenient way to keep score for that. Well worth the money! Another plus is that you can plug it into the wall so you don't have to waste money on batteries.
