The flat planar playing board includes rows of apertures with a certain diameter which correspond to specific scoring points. A backstop with a net is included as well as adjustable legs to elevate the flat planar surface off the ground. Tossing elements shaped like flying saucers are aimed at the apertures for scoring. Adult sized tossing elements have a larger diameter than the apertures on the flat planar surface playing board and a child sized tossing elements have a smaller diameter than the apertures on the flat planar surface playing board. A chime is included in the center aperture which is the highest scoring aperture that goes off when child tossing elements pass therethrough.
