Abstract

A yard toss game apparatus and method including multiple game apparatuses and a method of playing a game is provided. The yard game apparatus includes a base, numerous rods or targets which can attach or detach from the base. The method of playing preferably includes each of at least two players strategically tossing their respective piece from one side of the playing area towards the target base on the other side of the playing area. Each player or team of players seeks to gain the most points based upon their respective toss by knocking down the target targets on the other end of the playing surface.

 a game apparatus, the game apparatus comprising:
 at least one target, each of the at least one targets including a target base surface at a lower end; and 
 at least one target attachment member, the at least one target attachment member being located and positioned adjacent to the target base surface; 
   a base including at least one base attachment member, wherein the at least one target attachment member is selectively engageable with the at least one base attachment member; and   a throwable object that may be thrown by a player toward an at least one target, and wherein the base attachment member and the target attachment member are able to disengage from each other when struck by the throwable object.   
     
     
         9 . The game system of  claim 8  wherein each at least one target further includes at least one target attachment member located on a top surface of the target. 
     
     
         10 . The game system of  claim 8  wherein each at least one target is a dowel. 
     
     
         11 . The game system of  claim 8  wherein the base is triangular with three base attachment members. 
     
     
         12 . The game system of  claim 8  wherein the base attachment members and target attachment members are magnets. 
     
     
         13 . The game system of  claim 8  wherein the base attachment members and target attachment members are hook and loop fasteners. 
     
     
         14 . The game system of  claim 8  wherein the game system includes a second game apparatus. 
     
     
         15 . A game system comprising:
 at least two game apparatuses, each game apparatus comprising:
 at least one target, each of the at least one target including:
 a target base surface and a target top surface; 
 at least one target attachment member being located and positioned 
 
 adjacent to the target base surface; 
 a base including at least one base attachment member; 
 wherein the at least one target attachment member is selectively engageable with an at least one base attachment member; 
 at least one throwable object; and 
 wherein the at least one throwable object may be thrown to knock the at least one target over. 
   
     
     
         16 . The game system of  claim 15  wherein the base attachment members and target attachment members are hook and loop fasteners. 
     
     
         17 . The game system of  claim 15  wherein the base attachment members and target attachment members are magnets. 
     
     
         18 . The game system of  claim 15  wherein the game systems include two throwable objects. 
     
     
         19 . The game system of  claim 15  wherein the targets are dowels. 
     
     
         20 . The game system of  claim 15  wherein the throwable object is a ball.
