Abstract
A lawn game uses a pair of markers toward which each player rolls a disk while standing proximate the other maker. Once all disks have been rolled, the disk closest to the marker determines which player scores points for that round. For the player scoring points, all of that player's disks that are within a certain distance from the rolled to marker score, with each disk laying flat, the number showing on the side of the disk equals the points gained for that disk, the sum of the numbers on each side of a disk remaining on its outer edge equals the points gained for that disk, and the number showing on the side of the disk laying against the rolled to marker multiplied by a multiplier equals the points gained for that disk. A rope removably attachable to the markers helps with measurements.
Claims7
A method using a pair of markers, a series of first disks, and a series of second disks for playing a game, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing the pair of markers on the ground surface in spaced apart relationship to one another;
- rolling one of the first disks from a first one of the markers toward the second marker;
- rolling one of the second disks from the first one of the marker toward the second marker;
- repeating the previous two steps until all of the first disks and all of the second disks have been rolled;
- and
- calculating a first score based on position of the first disks with respect to the second marker and on the orientation of each first disk and calculating a second score based on position of the second disks with respect to the second marker and on the orientation of each second disk.
