  • Patent number: 4243229
    Abstract: A game apparatus comprising a plurality of circular disks and a target. The target is constructed in the form of an upright backboard having a transverse front surface intersected by an inclined playing board. The back edge of the playing board is attached to the backboard at an elevation intermediate the top edge and bottom edge of the backboard. The top surface of the playing board forms an angle of slightly greater than 90.degree. relative to the front surface of the backboard. The bottom edge of the backboard and front edge of the playing board rest freely on a supporting playing surface with the top edge of the backboard in a transverse horizontal position. A central target aperture through the playing board is dimensioned so as to permit the disks to fall through the aperture. The disks can come to rest on the top surface of the backboard, or on the top surface of the playing board. They also can lean between the top surface and front surface or fall through the aperture.
