Abstract
An indoor/outdoor game in which toy pieces are thrown to a target. The toy pieces and target are covered with hook and loop material so that contact of the toy piece and target results in adherence of the toy piece and target. Boundary and point marker pieces are also provided. A high degree of creativity is allowed the player as they can determine target zones, point values of those zones, and target shapes. The target can be collapsed and provided with handles and zipper to form a carrier for the toy pieces and prevent separation of the toy pieces from the game during transportation or storage.
