Bounce-landing puck-toss game

Abstract

A method of playing a puck-tossing game includes providing a target puck, a first plurality of tossing pucks of a first color, and a second plurality of tossing pucks of a second color. The target puck is tossed from a first tossing location, a distance of between approximately 10 feet to approximately 50 feet. At least one of the first plurality of tossing pucks is tossed toward the target puck in an effort to cause the at least one tossing puck from the first plurality of tossing pucks to land directly on top of the target puck. One of the second plurality of tossing pucks is tossed toward the target puck in an effort to cause the at least one tossing puck from the second plurality of tossing pucks to land on top of the target puck.
