         8 . A cone flipping game for players to score the flipping of plural cones to a game board comprising:
 the game board being of a rectangular shape and constructed of a flexible material;   the game board having four openings, one at each corner of the game board;   four stakes to be inserted into the openings to secure the game board to the ground; and   a plurality of cones.   
     
     
         9 . The cone flipping game of  claim 8  wherein the game board the game board has three cojoined, rectangular cone zones depicted on a surface of the game board. 
     
     
         10 . The cone flipping game of  claim 9  wherein the game board has a perimeter of a boundary ring formed about the three cojoined, rectangular cone zones on the game board. 
     
     
         11 . The cone flipping game of  claim 10  wherein the canvas gameboard is constructed of canvas and has grommets at each opening to receive the stakes. 
     
     
         12 . The cone flipping game of  claim 11  wherein the cones are arranged around the perimeter of the boundary ring formed on the game board. 
     
     
         13 . The cone flipping game of  claim 11  wherein the cones are hollow. 
     
     
         14 . The cone flipping game of  claim 12  wherein the cones have an opening at an upper end. 
     
     
         15 . The cone flipping game of  claim 13  wherein the cones have a circular collar about their base. 
     
     
         16 . A method of playing a flip cone game, the method comprising:
 presenting a game board, the game board including:   a front game board surface bearing a depiction of three joined blocks forming cone zones surrounded by a boundary ring:   flipping at least one cone by each of a plurality of players in turns towards the game board in an attempt for the at least one cone to turn at least 270 degrees and land on one of the three joined blocks.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein each of a plurality of players must stand within the boundary ring when flipping the at least one cone towards the game board. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein each player of the plurality of players takes turns flipping four cones during each turn.
