Abstract
A blow dart game comprises a tube having an abutment therein for abutting against a dart which is inserted into the tube, thereby preventing the dart from coming out of the tube and being ingested or swallowed by a user. The abutment may be provided directly on the tube, or on a mouthpiece which is connected to the tube at one end of the tube. The darts have suction cups at the front ends thereof and a seal for providing a substantial air seal against the inner surface of the tube. The dart further has a shock absorbing section at the forward portion thereof to enhance its adherence to non-flat and/or non-perpendicular target surfaces. An impact member is provided in some of the darts to improve adherence to the target surface.
