Washer game with an upright tube

Abstract

A washer game with an upright tube has two targets spaced apart to test people's skill at throwing washers. The targets are round with concentric rings upon a flat base within a perimeter wall. Score value increases as ring diameter decreases. The centermost ring has a diameter to receive an upright tube. In addition to the targets and tubes, the game has a plurality of washers or bean bags. Players of the game can add or remove a tube to vary the difficulty of the game. Also, a backboard collects washers for novice players or friendly competitions. The backboard rests upright upon the wall of a target and has a similar shape to the target.
