  • Patent number: 7887059
    Abstract: A bag toss game target has an angled landing surface with a target opening that rotates on a base of the game target whereby rotation of the landing surface changes direction of the slope of the landing surface and the target opening location relative to the base. The landing surface is provided by a platform that is raised relative to the target base. The platform is temporarily fixed in rotation to define various set positions and slope directions of the landing surface relative to the target base. The configuration of the present game target provides a bag toss game and game target that emulates the game of golf wherein the platform and target opening represents a golf green and golf hole (collectively, golf green), with the target base representing at least a portion of a golf hole fairway or approach leading to the golf green.
