As players take turns aiming darts at a [canned beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-clip) outfitted with a secure backboard, the goal is to hit specific sections of the can. A successful hit results in the player consuming the beverage until leakage ceases, adding a playful and competitive element to the game.
