ABSTRACT:
A game comprising board apparatus and dice is taught for simulating the well known outdoor game of horseshoe pitching. To play the game each of two players drops two color-coded dice down a chute onto a board where indicia on the upper surface of each resting die indicates one of a set of possible results of a horseshoe pitch. Sometimes a dropped die will change the score indicated by an earlier dropped die, just as a later pitched horseshoe may change the scoring position of an earlier pitched horseshoe. Score keeping for the game follows the rules for horseshoes, save for the special requirement that an exact score is needed to win. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, several pegs and a sequence of numbered holes are provided adjacent the game board to aid in score keeping.
