The present disclosure describes systems and methods for a portable dice game. In some aspects, the portable dice game comprises a playing surface and one or more holes in the playing surface. Each of the one or more hole define a scoring zone. The playing surface further comprises a demarcation line indicating a boundary of each scoring zone. During the dice game, when a player rolls a die and the die crosses the demarcation line and remains on the playing surface within the scoring zone, points are awarded based on a representation of a number shown on the die. Additional points are awarded when the die lands in one of the one or more holes within the scoring zone.

A game table is provided with a generally flat playing surface having opposed playing ends position spaced apart in a length dimension to allow players to participate from each of the playing ends. The playing surface has a length dimension greater than a width dimension of the playing surface. A plurality of holes is formed with a V-shaped pattern oriented in the length dimension. The V-shaped pattern is positioned adjacent each of the playing ends. The V-shaped pattern has a plurality of holes that increase in diameter away from the end hole. A gutter surrounds the playing surface.

A first game apparatus for inside or outdoor use comprising an elongated runway having a front end and a rear end with a ramp positioned at the front end, a target supported above the runway at the back of the ramp, said ramp having a curvature such that a projectile propelled along the runway from the rear end, passing under the target, and sliding up the ramp is given an upward trajectory curving towards a target of a second game apparatus. In one embodiment, the target is mounted on a U-shaped frame with ends forming a dogleg out of the plane of the frame for positioning the target at an incline or vertically. In most embodiments the target includes at least one aperture for receipt of a projectile such as bean bag.

Game board apparatuses for a dice throwing game and methods of playing the dice throwing game are provided. In embodiments, a game board apparatus for a dice throwing game includes a board having a playing surface including one or more scoring areas where dice are projected and roll to land for points. A score piece path is positioned on the playing surface, the score piece path including a plurality of score piece positions. A score piece is removably engageable with the score piece positions. In some instances, the score piece is positioned to block dice throws by an opponent player.

A desktop elastic launch game device includes a carrying body in the form of a rectangular flat board and having a predetermined height; a wall body higher than the carrying body and circumferentially arranged around a perimeter of the carrying body; a separation board arranged on the carrying body to have two ends mounted to the wall body and being formed, in a bottom portion, with a hollowed portion corresponding to the through holes; a plurality of elastic bodies, each of which has two ends that are mounted to opposite portions of the wall body and arranged adjacent to each of the through holes; and a plurality of plate bodies, which are placeable against each of the elastic bodies so that the plate bodies are selectively launched out toward the hollowed portion by a spring force of the elastic bodies.
