PORTABLE OUTDOOR GAME
A portable outdoor game that may include a ramp, a target, and one or more projectiles. The ramp may include an elongated runner and an elevation structure. The elevation structure may be positioned at one end of the runner and lift that end of the runner from a playing surface, creating an angled incline in the runner relative to the playing surface. Projectiles may roll or slide across the runner in the direction of the elevation structure. The projectiles may become airborne after traveling over the elevation structure and land within or near the target.
Multiple sports games toss system and method therefor
A multiple sports game board system having a display surface that is reconfigurable to simulate multiple sports games playable by tossing bean bags thereat. The display surface including a large diamond extending from side to side and top to bottom of the display area, and having a plurality of equal size small diamonds formed in the large diamond. Each of the small diamonds having a doorway extending therethrough configurable to close and opening an opening extending through the display surface within the respective small diamond to receive bean bags through the doorways that are disposed in the open position to obtain points for a plurality of different sports games.
Boules-Style Game and Apparatus
Apparatus and rules for playing a boules-style game. The apparatus includes one or more specially configured rigid gamepads having a flat upper surface on which balls can roll smoothly, each gamepad having a raised ridge around its periphery defining a base area, and shapes formed in the base area by raised ridges enclosing one or more additional distinct areas. Game balls may be configured to provide slightly unpredictable rolling characteristics, for example by providing them with grooves, ridges, lumps, dimples, or other surface anomalies. The game may be played in an open area with one or more gamepads placed on the ground spaced apart from each other. Gameplay includes players rolling the balls onto the gamepad from a distance. Each gamepad may have a post affixed thereto extending vertically from the gamepad. A bonus ball may be balanced atop the post, subject to being dislodged and awarding bonus points. Points are awarded based on a predetermined point value of the base area, and higher predetermined point values of the areas defined by the raised ridges, and the final positions of the balls and or bags.
Climbing wall with rotatable obstacles
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for the mounting of obstacles on a climbing wall in a manner which allows the obstacles to take on a number of different positions or orientations without a need to remove the obstacle mounting element from the climbing surface or perform any other significant disassembly. Embodiments of the present disclosure thus provide obstacles that can be repositioned by children during play to instantly create a variety of unique climbing challenge courses.
EMBELLISHMENTS FOR SPORTS OR RECREATIONAL EQUIPMENT
An exemplary embellishment is configured for use with sports or recreational equipment having a flat/planar surface. The embellishment is in the form of a planar sheet including a front surface and a rear surface opposite the front surface. The planar sheet is sized and shaped to correspond to a size and shape of the planar surface of the equipment. The front surface comprises at least one ornamental marking and/or at least one functional marking. Each functional marking relates to performance of a sport or recreational activity corresponding to the equipment. The rear surface has disposed thereon an adhesive configured to removably secure the planar sheet to the planar surface.
MULTIPLE SPORTS GAMES TOSS SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR
A multiple sports game board system having a display surface that is reconfigurable to simulate multiple sports games playable by tossing bean bags thereat. The display surface including a large diamond extending from side to side and top to bottom of the display area, and having a plurality of equal size small diamonds formed in the large diamond. Each of the small diamonds having a doorway extending therethrough configurable to close and opening an opening extending through the display surface within the respective small diamond to receive bean bags through the doorways that are disposed in the open position to obtain points for a plurality of different sports games.
Crashing Bridges game
Crashing Bridges is a game which consists of breaking magnet bonded objects with tossed bags. The flat objects, attached to a rectangular open frame, are tenuously connected in the middle of the frame by magnets attached to each corresponding object (e.g. 9 pairs). Crashing Bridges improves on the objective of other lawn games by making the rules of the game simpler to grasp and with no point totals to keep track of. The game is played by each player starting at an agreed upon distance apart (e.g. 10 feet) facing each other with a Crashing Bridges board by their side. Each player takes turns throwing corn or rice filled bags with the intent to break the bridges with the tossed bag, breaking the bond of the paired magnets and dropping the bridge. The player who knocks down all of the bridges first on the opposing players board wins.
Floating tossing game
A tossing game includes placing two floating goals spaced apart in a body of water, each goal defining a scoring region. The participants add an amount of water to cups and toss the cups in the direction of one of the goals for at least two turns, with the participants awarded points in response to the cups being tossed into the scoring region. Each filling of the cup during a participant's turn adds variability to the game, challenging the participants to determine a suitable amount of water to be placed in the cup for their own throwing technique as well as to repeatedly add approximately the same amount of water on subsequent turns once the participants have determined the fill level that best suits them.
ELEVATED YARD GAME
Embodiments described herein relate to a system which includes a first vertical support, a second vertical support parallel to the first vertical support, a third vertical support parallel to the first vertical support, and a fourth vertical support parallel to the first vertical support, a first, second, third, and fourth elevation couplers releasably attachable proximate an end of the corresponding vertical supports, a first, second, third, and fourth outer horizontal members releasably coupleable to extend between the elevation couplers perpendicular to the vertical supports, and first and second inner horizontal member extending between the outer horizontal members to be oriented substantially perpendicular to the vertical supports and overlap each other to form an elevated grid suitable for a game.
MODIFIED BOULE BASED GAME
The present invention relates to a new and inventive combination game combining aspects of ball and/or bowling games, The invention further relates to a game set comprising all elements necessary to perform the game and to a method of playing a combined game.
