Tossing game

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a game comprising a marker, a first tossable object, and at least a second tossable object, at least one of the marker, the first tossable object, and the second tossable object providing an outcome determinative means, the outcome of the game determinable based on the position of the first object and the at least second object with respect to the marker, and in conjunction with the determinative means. Determinative means may include indicia or other means for determining the outcome of a round of the game.

1 . A tossing game combining skill in positioning with a reading of determinative indicia for determining the outcome of the game comprising:
 providing at least one tossable marker, said marker having multiple sides providing at least one outcome determinative indicia;   providing a first tossable object having at least one distinguishing feature in order to determine which player wins the game and at least a second tossable object having at least one distinguishing feature in order to determine which player wins the game;   tossing said marker to a location predetermined by a player, wherein the marker comes to rest with at least one indicia facing upward;   tossing said first object to attempt to position first tossable object in contact with the marker;   tossing said at least a second object to position said object in contact with the marker; and   determining an outcome based upon the position of said first object and said at least a second object with respect to said marker in light of the determinative indicia.   
     
     
         2 . The game of  claim 1  wherein the distinguishing feature for a tossable object is a color. 
     
     
         3 . The game of  claim 1  wherein said marker has multiple sides and includes multiple outcome determinative indicia. 
     
     
         4 . The game of  claim 3  wherein outcome determinative indicia includes a numerical value. 
     
     
         5 . The game of  claim 3  wherein outcome determinative indicia includes a command. 
     
     
         6 . The game of  claim 1  wherein said game comprises a set of rules for determining an outcome for said game. 
     
     
         7 . The game of  claim 6  wherein the set of rules is based on indicia determines a winner of a round of said game. 
     
     
         8 . A game combining skill in positioning objects in relation to a marker with indicia on the marker comprising:
 providing at least one marker having multiple sides, the marker being tossable, and having multiple outcome determinative indicia;   providing a first non-spherical object,   providing at least a second object, and   providing a set of rules for determining an outcome of the game based upon the relative positions of said first object and said second object with respect to said marker, and further based on at least one of said outcome determinative indicia.   
     
     
         9 . The game of  claim 8  wherein said outcome determinative means includes multiple indicia. 
     
     
         10 . The game of  claim 8  wherein said outcome determinative means includes one from the group comprising: indicia, an electrical signal generator, micro-chip, RFID tag, GPS device, LED, and electrical signal receiver. 
     
     
         11 . The game of  claim 8  wherein said marker is tossable and wherein said first and said second objects include a signal transmitter. 
     
     
         12 . The game of  claim 8  wherein said outcome determinative means includes a random selection. 
     
     
         13 . The game of  claim 8  wherein the outcome is determined based on said at least one outcome determinative means. 
     
     
         14 . A game to be played by two or more players comprising:
 providing a marker;   providing a first tossable object, and   providing at least a second tossable object,   said first tossable object and said second tossable object having distinguishing features in order to determine which player wins the round,   at least one of said marker, said first tossable object, and said second tossable object providing an outcome determinative means;   wherein the players toss their respective objects at the marker and attempt to position the objects in contact with the marker; the game having a set of rules wherein the outcome of said game is based on a position of said first object and a position of said at least a second object with respect to said marker, and further based on said outcome determinative means.   
     
     
         15 . The game of  claim 14  wherein said outcome determinative means includes outcome indicia. 
     
     
         16 . The game of  claim 15  wherein said outcome determinative means includes a random generator. 
     
     
         17 . The game of  claim 15  wherein said outcome determinative means includes one from the group comprising: indicia, an electrical signal generator, micro-chip, RFID tag, GPS device, LED, and electrical signal receiver. 
     
     
         18 . The game of  claim 17  wherein said marker is tossable and wherein said first and second objects include a signal transmitter.
