A portable bag toss game apparatus for one or more players and method therefor is disclosed wherein a bag is tossed towards a target board which has four substantially triangular-shaped corner portions having a same color and same point value, and a substantially hexagonal shaped interior portion having a same color and a same point value, and a substantially circular-shaped center portion having a same color and a same point value.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A portable bag toss game apparatus for one or more players comprising, in combination: 
 a substantially square target board having a top surface comprising four substantially triangular-shaped corner portions having a first color and a first point value, a substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion having a second color and a second point value, said substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion defines a substantially circular-shaped center portion having a third color and a third point value; and    at least one bag to be projected by said one or more players towards said target board for scoring points when said bag comes to rest on one of said substantially triangular-shaped corner portions and substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion and substantially circular-shaped center portion.    
     
     
         2 . The game apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said bag weighs approximately 3 ounces.  
     
     
         3 . The game apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said bag is comprised of pea gravel.  
     
     
         4 . The game apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said bag is projected by said one or more players towards said target board from a throw line at least approximately six feet from a front portion of said target.  
     
     
         5 . The game apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said bag is projected by said one or more players towards said target board from a throw line at least approximately eight feet from a front portion of said target.  
     
     
         6 . The game apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said bag is projected by said one or more players towards said target board from a throw line at least approximately ten feet from a front portion of said target.  
     
     
         7 . The game apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first color and said second color and said third color comprise a water-based acrylic paint with sealer.  
     
     
         8 . The game apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said substantially square target board has a length of approximately 12 inches and a width of approximately 12 inches and a thickness of approximately 0.75 inches.  
     
     
         9 . A method for playing a bag toss game for one or more players comprising, in combination, the steps of: 
 providing a substantially square target board having a top surface comprising four substantially triangular-shaped corner portions having a first color and a first point value, a substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion having a second color and a second point value, said substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion defines a substantially circular-shaped center portion having a third color and a third point value;    providing at least one bag; and    projecting said bag towards said target board for scoring points when said bag comes to rest on one of said substantially triangular-shaped corner portions and substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion and substantially circular-shaped center portion.    
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said bag weighs approximately 3 ounces.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said bag is comprised of pea gravel.  
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said bag is projected by said one or more players towards said target board from a throw line at least approximately six feet from a front portion of said target.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said bag is projected by said one or more players towards said target board from a throw line at least approximately eight feet from a front portion of said target.  
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said bag is projected by said one or more players towards said target board from a throw line at least approximately ten feet from a front portion of said target.  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said first color and said second color and said third color comprise a water-based acrylic paint with sealer.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said substantially square target board has a length of approximately 12 inches and a width of approximately 12 inches and a thickness of approximately 0.75 inches.  
     
     
         17 . A method for playing a bag toss game for one or more players of varying skill levels comprising, in combination, the steps of: 
 providing a substantially square target board having a top surface comprising four substantially triangular-shaped corner portions having a first color and a first point value, a substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion having a second color and a second point value, said substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion defines a substantially circular-shaped center portion having a third color and a third point value;    providing at least one bag;    providing a first throw line and at least one additional throw line, said first throw line is for at least one player of less skill and is placed at a distance of at least approximately six feet from said target, said at least one additional throw line is for at least one player of more skill and is placed more than six feet away from said target; and    projecting said bag from behind one of said first throw line and said at least one additional throw line towards said target board for scoring points when said bag comes to rest on one of said substantially triangular-shaped corner portions and substantially hexagonal-shaped interior portion and substantially circular-shaped center portion.
