  • Patent number: 4709929
    Abstract: A game board for use as a toss game target. The board is generally rectangular and provides a target surface which includes upraised wall sections and complementary shutter members for differentially contacting and engaging playing pieces such as sacks tossed thereat. The upraised wall sections define a substantially geometrically-shaped area, which is further associated with a substantially centralized main scoring opening defined in the target surface. A pair of such game boards may be separably engaged with one another for portability and storage thereof, with a cavity portion defined therebetween for further storage of playing pieces and removable leg elements. When in play, the game boards may be supported on such leg elements, disposed in an elevated and angled position.
