  • Patent number: 5282635
    Abstract: A game involving the tossing or pitching of a marker(s) onto a board having numbers marked thereon and representing possible pin counts in the game of bowling, is scored using the scoring system developed for bowling. Areas of equal size are marked with the numbers one through eight, with a central cup having a value of ten points; a concentric area around the cup has a value of nine. Players toss markers, such as a twenty five cent coin, toward the board and attempt to bounce the marker off of the board surface and into the raised cup to score a strike. The cup is removable from the underlying retainer portion to facilitate the removal of any markers or coins which land therein. Various possible marker positions are provided for in the scoring. The board and central cup may be constructed to any scale deemed suitable or desired.
