  • Publication number: 20200282279
    Abstract: Handheld gaming pucks and handheld gaming bean bags each have crosshairs for determining location of the given gaming puck or location of the given gaming bean bag upon some gaming surface. The gaming pucks may be slidable across some smooth portion of the gaming surface. The gaming bean bags may be tossed onto some portion of a gaming surface. The gaming pucks and the gaming bean bags may each have a main central hole. The gaming pucks and the gaming bean bags may each have a crosshairs-member that is located within the given main central hole. Crosshairs may be located on the given crosshairs-member. Aside from the crosshairs, the crosshairs-member may be at least mostly visually transparent. At least a portion of the crosshairs may be visible from a top (or a bottom) of the given gaming puck or the given gaming bean bag.

  • Patent number: 10632364
    Abstract: A simulated American football game, with a particular gaming surface, and methods of play are described. The gaming surface may include an elongate ā€œIā€ shaped field that may include a simulated field region bounded by two opposing simulated play regions in a same plane. The simulated field region may simulate a 100 yard American football field and may include LED lighting to track a line of scrimmage and to track a first down yard marker target. The two opposing simulated play regions may provide for a diversity and plurality of various play outcomes that may dictate certain gameplay results when a slider comes to rest mostly over a given target or region. The slider may be slid from one opposing simulated play region, across the simulated field region to the other opposing simulated play region. In some embodiments, defensive blocking obstacles may be used to intentionally increase gameplay difficulty.
