Abstract
A game apparatus including a stand having a generally horizontal platform connected to a generally upright column. The platform has a plurality of distinct sides with point value indicia associated with each of these sides. A target object is placeable on the platform and is connected to the platform by tether means. A projectile is thrown at the target object from a remote distance with the object of knocking the target object from the platform over one of said sides. The points awarded the player participant throwing the projectile depends on which of the sides of the target is knocked over.
Claims9
A game apparatus comprising:
- a stand having an elevated platform with a generally horizontal top surface and a plurality of discrete sides;
- point value indicia associated with each of said sides;
- a target object supportable on the platform;
- tether means connecting the target object to the stand;
- said sides being concave in shape;
- a projectile throwable by a game participant to attempt to knock the target object from the platform whereby it hangs over one of said sides suspended by the tether means with the tether means giving a point value indication.
A game apparatus comprising:
- a stand having a platform with a generally horizontal top surface and a plurality of discrete sides;
- point value indicia located on the platform associated with each of said sides;
- a target object supportable on the platform;
- tether means connecting the target object to the stand;
- a projectile comprised as a throwable disc having aerodynamic properties throwable by a game participant to attempt to knock the target object from the platform whereby it hangs over one of said sides suspended by the tether means.
A game apparatus comprising:
- a stand having a platform with a generally horizontal top surface and a plurality of discrete sides, and having a tubular column supporting the platform, said platform having a central opening open to the interior of the tubular column;
- point value indicia located on the platform associated with each of said sides;
- a target object supportable on the platform;
- a tether connected at one end to the target object and extending through the central opening into the interior of the tubular column;
- a dead weight connected at the opposite end of the tether and located in the tubular column, said dead weight having a dimension larger than the dimension of the central opening of the platform;
- a projectile comprised as a throwable disc having aerodynamic properties throwable by a game participant to attempt to knock the target object from the platform whereby it hangs over one of said sides suspended by the tether.
