A target for a disc throwing game, including a receptacle including an open top, an open bottom connected to the open top, at least one aperture arranged between the open top and the open bottom, a first reflective member arranged elevationally below the at least one aperture, and a second reflective member arranged proximate the open top, and an illumination means securable only to an inside surface of the receptacle a distance from the at least one aperture, the illumination means operatively arranged to transmit light through the at least one aperture and the open top.

A board for a yard game, where the board a face portion and multiple openings through the face portion, where the openings may receive a projectile thrown by a player. The board additionally including at least one deflection zone for deflecting the projectile thrown by the player once contact is made between the projectile and the deflection zone. Each deflection zone including: a first edge portion; a second edge portion; and a deflection zone face portion located between the first edge portion and the second edge portion, where the deflection zone face is angled at about 30 degrees to about 90 degrees.

A bounce game played on a table or other surface includes a series of game pieces, each with a rounded bottom section with rounded surface downward, of a high-bounce rubber material. Secured to the top of the bottom section is a top section of very lightweight material. In a preferred form the bottom section of the game piece comprises at least about seventy percent of the total weight of the game piece. The game piece when placed on a surface will wobble but not topple over. Players toss a game piece down against the table such that the game piece bounces forward, with the object being to land it in a container such as a drinking glass on the table. To win a game is to be most successful at bouncing game pieces into the glass.

Apparatus and methods for removing leakage from a qubit. In one aspect, an apparatus includes one or more qubits, wherein each qubit facilitates occupation of at least one of a plurality of qubit levels, the qubit levels including two computational levels and one or more non-computational levels that are each higher than the computational levels, wherein the qubit facilitates transitions between qubit levels associated with a corresponding transition frequency; a cavity, wherein the cavity defines a cavity frequency; one or more couplers coupling each qubit to the cavity; one or more couplers coupling the cavity to an environment external to the one or more qubits and the cavity; a frequency controller that controls the frequency of each qubit such that, for each qubit, the frequency of the qubit is adjusted relative to the cavity frequency such that a population of a non-computational level is transferred to the cavity.

A tabletop shooting game, comprising: a projectile, a target and a shooter, the shooter including a stand defining a resting surface for receiving the projectile thereonto, an impactor and a biasing element for biasing the impactor towards the resting surface. The shooter is operable for shooting the projectile towards the target by moving the impactor to a loading position away from the resting surface with the projectile resting on the resting surface and subsequently releasing the impactor.

A method of using a ramp for jumping wirelessly controlled vehicles comprising assembling one or more two-dimensional ramp supports into a three-dimensional configuration; coupling a two-dimensional ramp member to the one or more three-dimensional ramp supports to form a ramp with a three-dimensional ramp member; providing the ramp so that it is supported on a surface by the one or more three-dimensional ramp supports.

A bag tossing game target including a first scoring target including a circular base and a side wall around the circular base. The side wall includes a top edge that is level relative to the circular base to define a planar opening. A second scoring target including a cylindrical cup is centrally located on the circular base, wherein the cylindrical cup comprises a top opening. A first scoring zone is over the circular base exterior of the cylindrical cup, and a second scoring zone is within the cylindrical cup.

The present invention provides a gaming device for playing a game of laser tag. The gaming device includes a controller configured to control and coordinate functions between various components thereof. The gaming device includes an aiming unit configured to generate infrared light signals and a receiver configured to detect the generated infrared light signals. The gaming device includes a targeting unit configured to generate a vibration when the receiver in the targeting unit detects infrared light signals. The gaming device further includes one or more lights configured to indicate one or more states of the aiming unit and targeting unit. The controller is configured to engage the aiming unit and targeting unit in a stealth mode in which the one or more lights are switched off.

A apparatus and method for operating the apparatus of the present invention provide for a game apparatus incorporating malleable tossing objects and a container wherein the container provides for the ability to have an insert wherein the insert may provide for at least one rigid geometric object on which the malleable tossing object will deflect if the throw of the malleable tossing object lacks precision, further the apparatus provides for an adult beverage theme, and a method for operating the apparatus.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for sealing openings on containers and other structures, permitting selective removal of portions of the seal structure, and for similar selective removal of portions of adhesive elements such as bandages.
