Bounce-Landing Puck Toss Game

Abstract

A bounce-landing puck toss game device for playing a puck tossing game with apparatus and rules that provide form, function, and prescribed method of play. The inventive device includes a plurality of pucks including a number of tossing pucks and a target puck. Each puck has a center, generally circular first and second faces, and a perimeter side edge between the first and second faces of the puck. Each puck is constructed of a size, weight, and composition that are necessary for the practical application and execution of the intended usage.

       12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said thickness of each said tossing puck is greater than ¾ inch to a maximum of 1½ inch, with the ideal thickness being determined to be 1⅛ inch. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said weight of said tossing puck is about 8 ounces to 13 ounces with an ideal weight being determined to be 11 ounces. 
   
   
       14 . A bounce-landing puck toss game for a plurality of players, comprised of:
 a) A plurality of pucks including a number of tossing pucks and a target puck, wherein said number of tossing pucks comprises eight (8) tossing pucks divided into two groups of four (4) of the same color, of which one group of four are a different color from the color of the other group of four and clearly different from the color of the target puck.   b) Wherein said target puck is brightly colored or ideally white in color; each puck having a center, generally opposing circular first and second faces, and a perimeter side edge between and perpendicular to said first and second faces of said puck.   c) Wherein each puck having one said perpendicular perimeter side edge to said puck face being a sharp 90 degree angle and said opposite puck face having a less sharp perpendicular perimeter side edge to puck face angle of 90 degrees with about a 1/32 inch to ¼ inch corner radius, with an ideal corner radius of 1/16 inch.   d) Wherein each puck has a diameter.   e) Wherein said diameters of said tossing pucks are substantially equal to one another.
 Wherein said diameter of each of said tossing pucks is greater than about 4½ inches to a maximum of 5½ inches, with the ideal diameter being determined to be 5⅛ inches. 
   g) Wherein said target puck is constructed substantially equal in all regards and aspects to said tossing pucks, with the one exception of being a different color.
 Wherein each puck has a thickness defined between said first and second faces of said puck. 
 Wherein said thickness of said tossing pucks being substantially equal to one another 
 Wherein said thickness of each said tossing puck is greater than ¾ inch to a maximum of 1½ inch, with the ideal thickness being determined to be 1⅛ inch. 
   
   
   
       15 . A method of playing a bounce-landing puck toss game with rules for a plurality of players, comprised of:
 a) A plurality of pucks including a number of tossing pucks and a target puck, wherein said number of tossing pucks comprises eight tossing pucks divided into two groups of four of the same color, of which one group of four are a different color from the color of the other group of four and clearly different from the color of the target puck.   Wherein said target puck is brightly colored or ideally white in color.   Each puck having a center, generally opposing circular first and second faces, and a perimeter side edge between and perpendicular to said first and second faces of said puck.   Wherein each puck having one said perpendicular perimeter side edge to said puck face being a sharp 90 degree angle and said opposite puck face having a less sharp perpendicular perimeter side edge to puck face angle of 90 degrees with about a 1/32 inch to ¼ inch corner radius, with an ideal corner radius of 1/16 inch.   e) Wherein each puck has a diameter.   f) Wherein said diameters of said tossing pucks are substantially equal to one another, wherein said diameter of each of said tossing pucks is greater than about 4½ inches to a maximum of 5½ inches, with the ideal diameter being determined to be 5⅛ inches.   g) Wherein said target puck is constructed substantially equal in all regards and aspects to said tossing pucks, with the one exception of being a different color.   h) Wherein Each puck having a thickness defined between said first and second faces of said puck.   i) Wherein said thickness' of said tossing pucks being substantially equal to one another.   j) Wherein said thickness of each said tossing puck is greater than ¾ inch to a maximum of 1½ inch, with the ideal thickness being determined to be 1⅛ inch.   k) Wherein said method of play commences with one of the teams players tossing the white target puck tip to a distance of about fifty (50) feet from the line of toss.   l) Wherein method of play consists of a plurality of players, with each player or team of players tossing a set of four colored pucks towards the previously tossed brightly colored or white target puck.   m) Wherein said method of play is for tossing said tossing pucks a distance of up to about fifty (50) feet from the line of toss to where the said tossing puck lands, with the primary and highest scoring objective to bounce-land onto said target puck so that said tossing puck is fully supported by said target puck, or the inverse thereof.   n) Wherein said method of play is for tossing said tossing pucks a distance of up to about fifty (50) feet from the line of toss to where the said tossing puck lands, with the secondary and second highest scoring objective to bounce-land said tossing puck onto said target puck so that said tossing puck is partially supported or leaning on said target puck, or the inverse thereof.   o) Wherein said method of play is for tossing said tossing pucks a distance of up to about fifty (50) feet from the line of toss to where the said tossing puck lands, with the lowest scoring objective to bounce-land said tossing puck closest to said target puck.
