  • Patent number: 10137360
    Abstract: A tabletop disc game assembly including at least one target including a sheet of a material, the sheet including a first side edge, a second side edge displaced from and substantially parallel with the first side edge, a fastening means operatively arranged to abut the first side edge against the second side edge, a substantially planar top side edge connecting the first side edge and the second side edge and a substantially planar bottom side edge displaced from and substantially parallel with the top side edge, the bottom side edge including a cut out. When the sheet of material is fastened, the target is operatively arranged to be positioned upright on a flat surface and to receive a projectile. A flexible member is used to slide or launch the projectile toward an opposing facing target for points; the first team to earn a pre-determined amount of points wins.

  • Patent number: 5382028
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method of play for a disc tossing game is disclosed. The apparatus includes two tapered, generally cylindrical containers with a slot in their sides and a disc with dull edges. When the disc tossing game is played in a yard or a park, the containers may have an open top and a closed bottom with the top having a larger diameter than the bottom. When the disc tossing game is played on a beach or indoors, e.g., in an indoor gymnasium, the containers may have an open top and an open bottom where the top has a smaller diameter than the bottom. The players always have an option as to which container is used in any type of playing situation. When the disc tossing game is played, the two containers are placed at a distance from each other and the disc is tossed at each of the containers in turn with each toss being scored and a winner being declared when one of two two-player teams reaches a score of exactly twenty-one.
