Abstract
A rolling hoop game apparatus and a method of playing the game. The game comprises a target having a flat front bankboard surface. The target is hingedly mounted on a support frame that is placed on a longitudinally extending playing surface a predetermined distance from a player stance position on the playing surface. A player standing at the player stance position rolls a hoop linearly with back spin on the playing surface toward the target so as to hit the target and rebound toward the player stance position to be caught by the player at the player stance position to score a game point toward a predetermined number of points to win a game.
