It's part frisbee, part darts, part "is this even a real sport?" — and it's sitting perfectly at home on ESPN8: The Ocho, the once fictional network (from Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) that made legends out of axe throwers, tire wrestlers, and the Savannah Bananas.

So, how does one play Popdarts, exactly? The goal is simple: toss suction-cup "darts" toward a small target marker, sticking them to any smooth surface. Think windows, tables, or your kitchen floor. Every dart that lands closer to the target gets more points, and just like in games of cornhole or bocce, players points are canceled out each round. It's fast, it's silly, it's super competitive, and it's way more intense than you can ever imagine. Like, sweat forming on your forehead kind of intense. 

If you haven't had the chance to play, you can grab your own official Popdarts set for just around $31.99 on Amazon, and you'll be throwing down in your living room before the broadcast even ends.
