BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

While growing up my grandfather was a big influence on me with woodworking projects and family values. In the world today where there is little face to face time because of all the electronics and internet, I wanted to create a game that would bring families together. With 3 young boys to keep busy, while camping or at home, and with an initial concept and a dream I made this game a reality. I am a firm believer in “a family that plays together, stays together.”

(1) Field of Invention

Unlike similar games in this field. Zagbag Board can be played 3 ways. Standing upright on the ground or table, laying down on a flat surface, or hanging on a wall as a “safe” version of darts.

(2) Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98

Similar games such as corn hole have limited play options. Darts can be a dangerous game especially for children.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Zagbag Board is a wooden game with 7 holes on the face of game, 5 larger holes and 2 smaller holes. Zagbag Board comes with 8 Zagbags that the player(s) use to toss into the holes on the face of the board to acquire points. Zagbag Board comes with 2 sets of legs that give the player(s) multiple staging positions to play the game. A set of long legs lets the player(s) stand the board in an upright position on the ground or table. A set of short legs lets the player(s) lay the board down on the ground or table. Place the short legs on the back bottom of the board and hang it on the wall as a “safe” version of darts. Zagbag Board gives the player(s) a variety of playing options, skill building ability and “safe” fun, all in one game.
