ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for playing a game of toss (10). The game may be played by people of all ages and physical abilities, and may be played from a sitting or standing position. The game (10) is adaptable for indoor and outdoor play. The apparatus for a game of toss (10) includes a plurality of tossing objects (14) such as bean bags or balls for tossing toward a target receptacle (12). A target receptacle (12) includes at least an inner and an outer vertical receptacle (18-28) with side walls (16-26) such that volumes (18-28) are defined within the inner wall (16) and between the inner wall (16) and the outer wall (26), respectively. In the preferred embodiment, the outer wall (26) includes a forward portion (36) with a depending section (38) proximate the top (32) such that a larger opening for the passage of the tossing object (14) is provided. The inner and outer walls (16-26) are attached to a base (44) such that the walls (16-26) do not move in relation to one another during play. The target receptacle (12) of the preferred embodiment may be easily disassembled for transport and storage. Scoring is determined by the number of tossing objects (14) landing within the separate volumes (18-28), with a greater number of points awarded for a tossing object (14) landing within the central volume (18).
