ABSTRACT:
A competitive toss game where each player has tossable play objects such as bean bags and there is a target apparatus with one or more receptacles each having a pivotally mounted flippable lid. Each lid is provided with an opening large enough for a bean bag to be tossed directly into the associated receptacle. The bean bags of each player bear an encoding or indicia, with the indicia being different for each player. Thus, the bean bags of one player may be one color and the bean bags of the other player may be a different color. The lids have different indicia on each side, the indicia on one side matching the indicia of one player's bean bags, the indicia on the other side matching the indicia of the other player's bean bags. The players may take turns tossing their bean bags at the target apparatus, with each player attempting to toss his or her bean bags into the receptacles and to engage the lids with his or her bean bags so as to cause the sides of the lids with indicia matching the indicia on his or her bean bags to face upwardly. Scoring may be based on the orientation of the lids as well as bean bags in the receptacles. The pivoting of the lids may be limited or controlled so that they will reverse when engaged by a bean bag in one area but not in another.
