A bean bag bowling device is disclosed that is a fun and unique outdoor game that can be played with family and friends. The game comprises two teams that have their own respective set of targets on their side of the playing field. During the game, the teams must knock down each other's targets using bean bags to be the last team standing to win. Based on age or skill level, each set of stakes can be set up five feet to twenty-five feet and up, opposite each other. Each stake has a center hole that allows a piece of cord to fit through for quick and easy collection and transportation. Further, for terrain other than sand/snow, each stake may have a wooden stand for quick balance and setup.

An arrangement for aligning a pair of game boards as used in a tossing game such as cornhole, the arrangement including alignment fiducials located along a center line of each game board and an alignment system that uses a marking line that uses the fiducials to achieve alignment (and perhaps also proper spacing) between the pair of game boards. The marking line of the alignment system may be either a laser-based source or a non-elastic weighted string source.

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.

A game assembly includes a two-part body having an upper portion and a lower portion along with a plurality of items for playing the game stored internally to the body. The body includes a central void space between for storage of the items to play the game. The body has a plurality of apertures formed on the upper portion to allow access into the central void space for tossing the items during play. Covers encapsulate or close the plurality of apertures but are removed during the playing of the game. The items inside include a plurality of tossable items segregated into different classifiable groupings, a flexible marker; and a writing tool configured to write on the lower portion to keep score.
