  • Publication number: 20220233945
    Abstract: A kit for playing a game on ice. The kit includes two or more game discs and a set of instructions for playing the game. The game discs are shaped to enable their passage over imperfections in the ice. Specifically, the game discs are tapered, such as with beveling but not limited to that. The taper reduces the chance that the disc will be stopped or diverted as it travels over the ice. The game requires the formation of two holes spaced from one another in the hole without extending through the ice. The game is played by sliding the discs toward the holes and scoring based on disc entry into the hole as well as closest proximity to the hole.
