Abstract
A tossing game with apparatus and an accompanying method of play, the apparatus comprising a target surface, a plurality of tossing disks, and a scoring peg. The game offers opportunity for variety and strategy of play by allowing for a multiplicity of games with the same apparatus, thereby increasing the enjoyment of the participants. In the preferred method of play, each player tosses three rings onto the target surface. The toss is scored according to the landing position of the rings and the scoring position of the “power key.” The first player to reach a predetermined score without faulting wins.
Claims20
A tossing game comprising:
- a generally horizontal target board, such board being substantially rectangular in shape with a longitudinal centerline across which the board is generally symmetrical and having a top surface with three holes disposed thereon, such holes being generally centrally aligned along the longitudinal centerline and being sized to admit one or more tossing disks, such board also including two longitudinal side rails depending from the top surface and two end rails also depending from the top surface, at least one longitudinal side rail defining three scoring receptacles, such receptacles corresponding one-to-one with the holes and being adapted to receive a scoring peg;
- and
- a scoring peg, such scoring peg being generally cylindrical in shape and adapted to fit within the scoring receptacles on the side rail, such peg also comprising a handle;
- and
- a plurality of tossing disks, each disk being substantially torical in shape and having an outer periphery, each disk also being weighted towards said outer periphery and sized and adapted to fit through the holes on the target board.
A weighted tossing disk for a tossing game, such disk having a generally torical shape, an outer periphery, and a geometric center, and comprising an outer portion and an inner portion, such outer portion being adjacent the outer periphery, and such inner portion being oriented toward the geometric center and being thinner than the outer portion.
A method of playing a tossing game, such game comprising a generally horizontal target board having three holes disposed thereon arid a side rail having three scoring receptacles, said receptacles corresponding one-to-one with said three holes, a plurality of weighted tossing disks adapted to fit through the holes, and a scoring peg adapted to fit within the scoring receptacles, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a throw line and setting up the target board a predetermined distance from the throw line and oriented generally orthogonally thereto so that the holes are located at varying distances from the throw line;
- inserting the scoring peg into one of the scoring receptacles, said scoring receptacle to be chosen according to the agreed rules and intended to make the game more challenging;
- tossing the weighted tossing disks toward the target board and thereby attempting to place them through the holes;
- and
