Abstract
The portable pitch game of the present invention is a self-contained target/toss-type game comprised of two multi apertured rectangular platforms. Colored apertured disc projectiles are supplied in sets of six, one set for each player. A player stands on the edge of one platform and tosses discs in an attempt drop them through one of the apertures in the second platform. The apertures are scored one, two, three according to distance away from the thrower. Separable hinges and latches are included for attaching the two rectangular platforms together into a storage or carrying case. In a special embodiment, the discs and a ring around the apertures are colored with a non-toxic light chargeable coating which produces a glow effect in a darkened environment.
