Description

Launch-A-Load is a bean bag game consisting of two toilet seat game pieces, and nine bean bags labeled “NO.1”, four bean bags labeled “NO.2” and one bean bag labeled “BLEACH”. The toilet seats are placed 25 feet apart and players throw the bean bags at the toilet seat game pieces to score points. Detachable legs that mount under the toilet seats lift the toilet seats up off the ground, at a slight angle and support the folding lid of the toilet seat. Each player throws all 4 of their bags before the next player throws.

Scoring is:

• • 1 point for landing in the seat area
  • 3 points for landing on the lid
  • 6 points for landing on the seat
  • Subtract 3 points for falling between the hinges

If a player throws all four of their bags in the seat area in a single turn it is a Straight Flush and that player will get 2 bonus points for a total of 6 points. If a player throws all four of their bags on the lid in a single turn it is a Royal Flush and that player will get 3 bonus points for a total of 15 points. A player is allowed to choose the option of throwing the BLEACH bag instead of their 4 regular bean bags. The BLEACH bag can only be thrown once per game per team and in lieu of 4 regular play bags. If a player chooses to throw the BLEACH bag and scores on any section of the game board including the section between the hinges that is a minus 3 points score then the score becomes tied for the game. If the player misses then the opponent team receives 2 bonus points. The first team to reach 21 points wins.
