Abstract
Outdoor and indoor rolling games, game box stations ramps and methods of play where one or more participants physically rolls wheels towards a ramp which leads to a box, and a target area, such as circular hole or rectangular hole where player(s) accumulate points under selected playing rules. A station box can have a fold down ramp with an optional opening in the back of the box. Another station can have wheels and cooler in a hand truck arrangement. Another version can use a foldable ramp with removable inserts that allows the game to also be used with bean bags.

A method of playing a rolling target game, comprising the steps of:
- providing a box having one side with an opening into the box, with the opening covered by a foldable side that is folded in a closed position for storage and transportation of the box;
- providing at least one wheel;
- unfolding the foldable side from the closed position covering the opening to the box to an open position, with the foldable side forming a slanted ramp into the box, the open position for allowing the box to be useful as a game;
- and
- rolling a wheel on the slanted ramp and into the opening in the box.
A method of playing a rolling target game, comprising the steps of:
- providing a rear panel having an upper end and a lower end;
- providing a ramp panel with a rear edge and a front edge;
- attaching the upper end of the rear edge of the ramp panel by a hinge, the hinge for allowing the rear panel to fold against the ramp panel in a folded parallel position for allowing storage and transportation of the ramp panel and the rear panel, the hinge for allowing the allowing the rear panel to fold outward from the ramp panel in a raised upright position for allowing the ramp panel to be used as a game;
- providing a target opening in the ramp panel between the rear edge and the front edge;
- and
- raising the ramp panel from the folded parallel position to an angle with the rear panel folded outward in the raised upright position;
- and
- rolling at least one wheel onto the ramp panel in the direction of the target opening for playing a game.
A method of playing rolling wheel games comprising:
- providing a first ramp assembly having a first ramp with a first end and a second end;
- providing a first hinge on the second end of the first ramp hingedly attached to another member, for allowing the first ramp to fold in a closed position parallel with the another member for storage and transportation of the first ramp, the hinge for allowing the first ramp to unfold to an open position with the another member being in an upright position for allowing the first ramp to be used as a game;
- providing a first target on the first ramp assembly;
- unfolding the first ramp from the closed parallel position by the hinge to the open position so that the first ramp is at an angle where the second end of the first ramp is raised to a greater height than the first end of the first ramp;
- rolling a first wheel up the first end of the ramp to the first target on the first ramp assembly;
- and
- scoring at least one point when the first wheel passes into the first target.
