ABSTRACT:
The play and entertainment value of a card toss game is substantially enhanced by combining the tossing of a plurality of cards, each having an erratic flight behavior or path, with a game board having a plurality of pockets defined therein for receiving the cards if successfully tossed and a counter built into the game board for accumulating scores attributed to the tossed cards and adding additional scoring values. The plurality of pockets of the game board are distinguished one from each other in that at least one of the pockets has a shape and size which allows cards to be more easily tossed therein than the others. Additional ones of the pockets are further uniquely associated with selected ones or suits of the cards so that scores within these pockets are counted depending upon the type of cards successfully tossed into each pocket. Movement of a counter token accumulates the score of each player and additionally adds bonus or penalty points or provides for sudden grand slam victory depending upon play calls, position of the token counter on the game board and score received from the toss of the card into one of the plurality of pockets.
