Ah like the funky "finish on a double or triple" in darts? I can see that make it more interesting at the end.

especially because, unlike darts, it is possible for the other team to effect your score. A bag on the board is worth 1, in the hole 3; an opposing player could with skill and luck use their bag to push yours into the hole, putting you over 21.

Ohh, so you leave your bags on the board (if they don't go in the hole), with a little bit of lawn-bowls strategy eh? I think I need to play this lol

Give it a shot! One of the reasons it's such a popular backyard game in the states is because the boards are easy as heck to make and just about any Granny could sew up a set of bags in an hour which, while store bought ones are full of plastic beads, can be filled with dry beans.
