Corn bag toss game

Abstract

The invention for which we are seeking a patent is an outdoor/indoor recreational game of excitement and skill suitable for participants of all ages ranging from children to adults and provides excellent entertainment and recreation for backyards, driveways, on the beach, or anywhere. The name of this game is “Corn Bag Toss Game” and consists of three main playing components; two sloped game boards, eight corn filled bags and two to four players. With two competitors, players compete against each other and walk from one end to the other each round throwing from each end. With four competitors, players form two teams of two at each end and compete against each other. The game is played by throwing corn filled canvas bags at sloped game boards with hopes of getting bags to land on the boards for one point each or getting bags to go through the hole in the game boards for three points each. Only the highest scoring player in each round receives points for their team and play continues until one team reaches 15, 21, or 30 points (as decided on before play) and are declared the winners.
