Projectile and Target Game and Method of Use
The present invention is a projectile and target lawn game that calls to mind the sport of bowling. The lawn game disclosed herein uses a number of pins that are magnetically attracted to a board as the target. The projectiles are preferably beanbags that a player tosses at the pins.
TARGET GAME SYSTEM AND METHOD
A target game system including a target game device having a plurality of hoop members arranged in stacked relationship, each hoop member including a frame defining an elongated central opening through which a tossable item may pass, the elongated central opening having an opening width greater than an opening height, coupled to the frame, a capture net configured to capture the tossable item passing through the central opening, and at least one coupler configured to removably couple the hoop member with at least one other hoop member of the plurality. In addition, each target game device includes a vertical support member configured to support the plurality of hoop members above a ground surface, the vertical support member including a ground-engaging stabilizer configured to positionally stabilize the vertical support member by engagement with the ground surface.
LIGHTED GAMING PLATFORM
A cornhole platform is provided that offers improved distributed lighting across the platform playing surfaces for nighttime play, as well as enhanced aesthetics and graphic presentation. The platform playing surfaces are formed from acrylic or acrylic glass. A translucent finish is obtained on the playing surface by sanding the underside layer of the acrylic sheet, where the diffused finish is used to trap light provided by light sources that are arranged along the perimeter of a frame that holds the one or more acrylic sheets. The sanded finish acts to diffuse light from the light source to more evenly fill the playing surface with light. As a result, the spotlight effect common to conventional illuminated gameboards is precluded thereby making play under low ambient light conditions of twilight or outdoor darkness possible without creating night vision impairment associated with looking into a comparatively bright light relative to the ambient lighting.
Disc Tossing Table Game
A disc tossing table game is provided. The table game includes baskets configured to receive a projectile, a tiered basket stand configured to receive the baskets thereon, and a disc configured to be thrown at the baskets. The baskets include an upright support pole disposed in a catch member, a top member for suspending deflecting tethers thereon, and a support member for stabilizing the support pole in the catch member. The support pole includes a first end affixed to the top member and a second end affixed to a base of the catch member. The tethers include a first end affixed to the top member and a second end affixed to a ring member suspended around the support pole. The support member engages a wall of the catch member via a friction fit. The catch member includes an interior volume configured to receive the projectile.
PROJECTILE PARTY GAME
A collapsible game piece and methods of using the same are disclosed. The collapsible game piece can have one or more collapsible zones, each of which can move between a collapsed state and an expanded state, optionally including partially collapsed states in-between. The collapsible game piece can have a projectile end with a projectile opening sized to receive a projectile (e.g., a ping pong ball). The collapsible game piece can have a nose end and optionally a nose piece. The collapsible game piece can optionally include a tail and fins. When thrown or tossed, the collapsible game piece can fly until it lands, potentially collapsing one or more of the collapsible zones, which results in ejection of the projectile from the projectile opening. Various games can be played using the collapsible game piece.
Multi-Configurable Bean Bag Game and Method of Game Play
A multi-configurable bean bag tossing game is provided which features a body having bins depending into a top surface. The top surface of the body is removably engageable with any of a plurality of game slats each of which position game indicia and a plurality of slat apertures aligned with some or all of the bins in the top of the body thereby allowing users to change the game being played by changing the game slat. A transit slat is also engageable with the top of the body to form a table, and support frame is engageable with the body to form a storage cavity for the game slats, and provide both wheeled support for rolling the device along with folding legs to support the assembled device.

MULTI-COMPONENTIAL COOLER
An apparatus may be a cooler capable of transporting and retaining various implements for entertainment purposes. The cooler has an interior that is preferably compartmentalized to define at least two interior spaces. A lid may be employed to cover or uncover the interior spaces. One of the interior spaces is configured to hold two game platforms. These game platforms may be used for different party games, such as corn hole and/or beer pong. The cooler further has various features and implements stored therein to ensure the proper equipment needed for such games and other forms of entertainment are contained within one unit.
Target for a thrown object with rapid deploy features
A target device for registering a hit by a thrown object such as a flying disc is provided and includes a pylon assembly, an interceptor, and a receipt component. The pylon assembly, the interceptor, and the receipt component are operatively associated with one another such that a movement of the pylon assembly from its operating disposition to its stowage disposition operates to move the interceptor and the receipt component axially closer to the base axial end of the pylon assembly and, when the pylon assembly is in its stowage disposition, the interceptor has been moved from its intercepting position into its non-intercepting position, and the receipt component has been moved from its flared position into its pack position, the interceptor and the receipt component at least partially axially overlap one another.
Device and Method for Rolling Disc Game
A rolling disc game. The present game comprises a pair of stakes, configured to be secured into the ground or into a base element, and a disc having an edge with sufficient thickness to enable the disc to roll easily. The method of playing the rolling disc game involves a player standing at a starting position that is a predetermined distance away from the stakes and rolling the disc with the goal of having it roll in between the upstanding stakes. In some embodiments, multiple pairs of stakes are placed at various distances apart, with a point value assigned to each pair of stakes. Players take alternating turns. The player with the most points at the end of the game is deemed the winner.
