Abstract

A projectile tossing game that combines elements of traditional washers and bean bag games with baseball. The game includes a receiving box that resembles a baseball field having an infield and outfield. The floor of the box can be covered with a material such as outdoor carpeting or turf to minimize the impact of projectiles landing in the box. Players score points (or runs) by landing projectiles in the infield or in one of the cylindrical outfield targets. The game is played for nine turns rather than a predetermined score. In the event of a tie, extra turns are taken until a player or team is declared the winner. The game can be played with multiple players and one receiving box or teams of players with two receiving boxes. A carrying case, handle, or lid may be provided to assist with transport of the game.

Claims

1. A projectile tossing game for players to score the tossing of plural projectiles to the receiving box comprising:

five perimeter side walls comprised of;

two long sidewalls perpendicularly connected;

two short perimeter sidewalls connected perpendicularly to the other end of the long perimeter sidewalls;

one medium perimeter sidewall that connects the remaining end of the two short perimeter sidewalls;

a floor secured to all five sidewalls thus containing projectiles landing in the receiving box;

two interior walls connected perpendicularly to one another and to the long sidewalls also perpendicularly forming a smaller square within the receiving box;

two large cylindrical targets each attached to the floor between the square area and one of the short perimeter sidewalls;

one small cylindrical target attached to the floor and centered between the intersection of the two interior walls and the center of the medium perimeter sidewall.
