In one embodiment, game board has a general scoring area defined on it. A first player attempt to cover as much of the general scoring area by positioning one or more blocking pieces onto the game board. Uncovered sections of the general scoring area are designated a specific scoring area. A second player then attempts to position one or more scoring pieces within the specific scoring areas. The players may take alternate turns to determine which player can successfully position more scoring pieces during a selected number of turns. The blocking piece(s) may be positioned directly or by tossing it onto the game board. The scoring piece(s) are typically positioned by tossing or throwing them onto the game board. In another embodiment, the general scoring area is defined by the second player positioning target pieces onto the game board before the first player positions the blocking pieces. In another embodiment, different general scoring areas may be defined and may be used to award different numbers of points.
