1. A dart game comprising:
- a dart; and
a dart board, said dart board including a base plate and a target frame fixed to said base plate to define a hollow space therebetween said target frame having ;
a target portion including concentric annular ribs and angularly spaced radial ribs which intersect said annular ribs to form a plurality of spaced scoring areas with different score values, an innermost one of said annular ribs forming a central circular scoring area which defines a bull'"'"'s-eye section,a plurality of target plates of different shapes corresponding with and respectively disposed in scoring areas, mounted between said ribs, and shiftable toward said base plate; and
a plurality of high density polymer plates detachably provided on a front side of a respective one of said plurality of target plates;
said dart board further including;
an automatic scoring register, said automatic scoring register including a flat panel mounted in said hollow space and attached to said base plate, said flat panel having a plurality of touch-activated switches provided thereon which are arranged in accordance with said target plates,a circuit means mounted in said hollow space which is electrically connected to said plurality of touch-activated switches, anda display unit mounted on said target frame which is electrically connected to said circuit means;
a particular one of said plurality of target plates being urged to impact a corresponding one of said plurality of touch-activated switches so as to cause said circuit means to control said display unit to show a score which corresponds to said particular one of said plurality of target plates when said dart strikes said particular one of said plurality of target plates;
said target frame including an annular support member which is fixed to said target portion at said central circular scoring area and which defines an annular clearance with said innermost one of said annular ribs, an inner circular target plate mounted in said annular support member and which is shiftable toward said base plate, and an outer annular target plate mounted in said annular clearance and which is shiftable toward said base plate, said inner circular target plate and said outer annular target plate defining two different scoring areas in said bull'"'"'s-eye section.

Abstract
A dart game includes a dart and a dart board. The dart board includes a base plate, a target frame fixed to the base plate, and an automatic scoring register mounted between the target frame and the base plate. The target frame has a target portion including a plurality of target plates formed with blind counterbores for receiving the dart when the dart strikes the target portion. The target plate shifts rearwardly upon being struck by the dart to impact one of the membrane switches of the automatic scoring register so as to show a score on a display unit of the automatic scoring register. The bull'"'"'s-eye section of the target portion includes two target plates to define two scoring areas with two different score values.
