US 2023/0226422 A1 · PORTABLE BALL GAME SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE

Abstract

A portable game where balls are rolled over a ramp at targets. The game incorporates aspects of bocce ball with the additional challenge of a ramp and different types of targets. The game can roll up into an easily transportable package with all game pieces stored inside the roll. The roll can then be deployed to act as a portion of the game's playing surface in any suitable location. The game consists of balls, a runner, a ramp, and different forms of targets. The runner could be made of slats, fabric, or other materials that are flexible and can be rolled. The balls are similar to bocce balls but could be lighter or smaller for easy transport.
