Abstract
A washer game with an upright tube has two targets spaced apart to test people's skill at throwing washers. The targets are round with concentric rings upon a flat base within a perimeter wall. Score value increases as ring diameter decreases. The centermost ring has a diameter to receive an upright tube. The upright tube extends perpendicular to the target and may have arms branching off the upright tube. In addition to the targets and tubes, the game has a plurality of washers or bean bags. Players of the game can add or remove the tubes to vary the difficulty of the game.
Claims15
A game to test skill at throwing for indoor and outdoor use comprising:
- one or more targets having a base with a top surface, a wall perpendicular to said base and proximate to the perimeter of said base, and at least one or more concentric rings centered upon said target;
- and,
- a plurality of throwing pieces;
- whereby, said rings and said wall join to said top surface.
The throwing game of 6 further comprising:
- one or more branches extending from said tube, said branches extend lateral and upward from said tube;
- and,
- said branches being generally round and of a cross section similar to said tube and each of said branches terminating in an opening to receive thrown washers.
A game for throwing both indoors and outdoors comprising:
- one or more targets having a base with a top surface, a wall perpendicular to said base and proximate to the perimeter of said base, and at least one concentric ring centered upon said target, and said at least one ring and said wall join to said top surface;
- one or more tubes having a diameter slightly larger than that of said ring closest to the center of said target, said tubes having one or more arms extending outward from said tube, and said arms terminate in openings;
- and,
- a plurality of pieces for throwing;
- whereby said openings have a score value and said concentric rings have a score value that increases as the diameter of said rings decreases;
- whereby players of said game may remove or add said tubes to said targets at their discretion.
A game to test skill at throwing for indoor and outdoor use comprising:
- at least one target having a round base with a top surface, a wall perpendicular to said base and proximate to the perimeter of said base, and at least one concentric ring centered upon said target;
- a plurality of throwing pieces, said pieces being washers or bean bags;
- a tube fit upon said ring closest to the center of said target, said tube being generally perpendicular to said base, and snug upon said ring closest to the center of said target;
- at least one branch extending from said tube, generally lateral and upward from said tube;
- and,
- said branch being generally round and of a cross section similar to said tube and each of said branches terminating in an opening to receive said throwing pieces;
- whereby, said rings and said wall join to said top surface.
