Abstract
A tossing game includes a projectile that is formed of two overlapping annular rings and two spaced apart stakes at which the rings are tossed. The overlapping nature of the rings defines a plurality of areas, and each area is assigned a point value. Points are awarded to the players depending on where and how the overlapping rings comes to rest with respect to the stakes.
