ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus and associated playing method. The game apparatus comprises two cup members, each cup member defining a cavity therein and having an upper portion defining an opening accessing the cavity. Each cup member is provided at its upper end portion with an outwardly disposed flange defining an upper surface, and when in use the cup members are recessed into the playing surface such that the upper surface of the flange is substantially level with the playing surface. The game apparatus also includes a plurality of pucks for being tossed at the cup members. In accordance with the playing method of the present invention the cup members are placed a preselected distance apart, and opposing players toss a selected number of pucks, alternately, at one cup member and then the other from a position behind the cup member not being targeted. A first scoring value is assigned to pucks which come to rest in the cavity of the targeted cup member. A second scoring value is assigned to the puck which come to rest on the flange of the targeted cup member and which is the closest puck to the opening of such cup member resting on the flange. A third scoring value is assigned to at least the one puck not otherwise assigned a scoring value, which comes to rest within an outer target perimeter and which is the closest to the opening in the targeted cup member without being received in the cavity of the cup member.
