Abstract
A modular game assembly includes a central platform and a plurality of peripheral boards removably attached to the central platform to facilitate a tossing game between two or more players. The central platform is supported upon a support surface such that a planar surface thereof is elevated with respect to the support surface. Each peripheral board includes a front edge that is raised and supported by the central platform such that each peripheral board is downwardly inclined. Each peripheral board is in an abutting arrangement with adjacent peripheral boards.
Claims18
A modular game assembly for a tossing game, the modular game assembly comprising:
- a central platform including a planar surface that is elevated relative to a support surface supporting the central platform;
- and
- a plurality of peripheral boards, wherein each peripheral board is coupled to the central platform and in an abutting arrangement therewith, and
- wherein each peripheral board is in an abutting arrangement with respect to an adjacent peripheral board.
A modular game assembly for a tossing game, the modular game assembly comprising:
- a central platform including:
- an upper surface and a lower surface, and wherein a central opening extends between the upper surface and the lower surface, wherein the lower surface is elevated relative to a support surface supporting the central platform via a plurality of legs removably attached thereto, and wherein the upper surface is substantially horizontal when supported upon the support surface;
- and
- six edges;
- and
- a plurality of peripheral boards, wherein each peripheral board includes:
- an upper surface,
- a lower surface, and
- a central opening extending between the upper surface and the lower surface,
- wherein each peripheral board includes six edges, said six edges comprising a front edge, a pair of abutting edges, a pair of exposed edges, and a rear edge,
- wherein each front edge is removably or rotatably attached to a corresponding one of said six edges of said central platform, and
- wherein said abutting edges of each peripheral board are shaped and dimensioned such that said peripheral boards are in abutting arrangement with respect to one another along a longitudinal length thereof.
A method of game play for a tossing game, the method comprising:
- providing a modular game assembly including:
- a central platform,
- a plurality of peripheral boards, each of the plurality of peripheral boards being at least one of removably and rotatably attached to the central platform, and,
- a plurality of game bag sets corresponding to the respective peripheral boards;
- assigning an initial point value;
- selecting a plurality of players and assigning each of said plurality of players to a respective peripheral board;
- distributing said game bag sets to said respective players;
- commencing a tossing game whereby each player, in order, tosses a game bag from their respective game bag set at the modular game assembly according to rules, comprising:
- deducting points from a player's score when an opposing player tosses a game bag from their respective game bag set on said player's assigned peripheral board or through a scoring hole formed in said player's assigned peripheral board;
- adding points to said player's score when said player tosses a game bag from their respective game bag set on said player's assigned peripheral board or through a scoring hole formed in said player's assigned peripheral board;
- and
- determining a score after each toss,
- eliminating players from the game when their respective score is zero, and
- determining a winner when two of said players remain and, and wherein the winner is one of said two players with a score equal to said initial point value or with points greater than zero.
