Abstract

An object toss game has a ball connected to an elastic cord. The ball has a surface with fasteners. Two board assemblies are positioned at a distance apart. Pads are arranged on a top panel of each board assembly. Players toss the ball toward a pad on the board to remove the pad from the top panel. The ball then bounces from the top panel to remove the pad from the top panel. The first player to remove the pads from a board positioned opposite to the player wins the game. Alternately, players take turns tossing darts at regions on the board assemblies that are assigned points.

Claims (8)

1. A game comprising:

at least two board assemblies spaced a distance apart, each of the at least two board assemblies further comprising:

a top panel, the top panel having a front surface and a back surface positioned opposite to the front surface; a bottom panel connected to the top panel, the bottom panel being substantially parallel to the horizon, wherein the top panel is inclined with respect to the bottom panel to form an acute angle between the top panel and the bottom panel;

a plurality of pads connected to the front surface of the top panel, each pad of the plurality of pads having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface of each pad secured to the front surface of the top panel and the second surface of each pad having a fastener; and

a plurality of discs, wherein each disc of the plurality of discs is removably connected to a respective pad of the plurality of pads on the front surface of the top panel, wherein each disc of the plurality of discs has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, each of the top surface and bottom surface having a fastener, wherein the fastener on the bottom surface of each disc of the plurality of discs connect to a respective fastener on the second surface of a respective pad of the plurality of pads on the front surface of the top panel;

an object having an exterior with a fastener and a hole extending through the object, the hole having a first end and a second end diametrically opposed to the first end, wherein the exterior is configured to attach to any of the fasteners on any of the top surfaces of any of the plurality of discs to remove any of the plurality of discs from the front surface of the top panel; and

a cord made of an elastic material and having a first end and a second end, the first end extending through the hole of the object to connect the cord to the object, the second end forming a loop, wherein the loop is configured to be secured to a user.

2. The game of claim 1 , wherein the cord has a thickness of between one-sixteenth of an inch and one-eighth of an inch.
