Ring rolling game apparatus and method for playing the same

Abstract

A lawn game apparatus that consists of three steel rings rolled one at a time along a straight course on the ground, towards three pegs positioned in a triangular pattern and staked into the ground. Points are earned by encircling one or more pegs with each steel ring, with each peg being worth one point. The game is complete when one or more players obtain eleven or more points at the conclusion of a complete round of turns.

Having described my invention, I claim:  
     
         1 . A game apparatus, comprising: 
 (a) a set of three pegs to be used as a target by being placed in a triangular fashion at the end of a playing track;    (b) a set of three rings to be propelled towards the target; and,    (c) a second set of three pegs to be used by an opposing player at the opposite end of the playing track.    
     
     
         2 . A game apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein the pegs are steel and pointed for the purpose of driving them into the ground.  
     
     
         3 . A game apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein the rings are steel.  
     
     
         4 . A game apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein the rings are circular.  
     
     
         5 . A method of playing a game, comprising the steps of: 
 (a) establishing a target of three pegs staked into the ground in a triangular configuration and,    (b) propelling a set of three rings toward the target.    
     
     
         6 . The method as claimed in  claim 5 , where in a score is awarded for encircling the target pegs.  
     
     
         7 . The method as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the rings are propelled toward the target by rolling them on the ground.  
     
     
         8 . The method as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the propelling of the rings is in different fashions including 
 (a) tossing the ring under-handed;    (b) spinning the ring with two hands; or,    (c) placing the ring on the ground and pushing it with one or two hands
