Sack toss game

Abstract

A method for playing an object tossing game comprising the steps of: providing a first board includes a plurality of openings each having an assigned score and configured to receive a first toss object during a playing of the toss game; setting a target score; obtaining score by tossing a first toss object toward the first board and to fall in one of the openings, wherein the score earned is the assigned score of the opening receiving the first toss object; summing obtained scores to arrive at an accumulated score; subtracting the newly obtained score from the accumulated score if the sum of the accumulated score and the newly obtained score is greater than the target score; and achieving a game victory when a sum of the accumulated score and the newly earned score is equal to the target score.

         3 . The toss game system of  claim 1 , further comprising a stand to be coupled to the first board and to elevate the first board, the first board includes a first end and an opposite second end, the stand is configured to selectively increase or decrease a height that the first end is above the second end. 
     
     
         4 . The toss game system of  claim 3 , further including a second board having a plurality of openings each having an assigned score and configured to receive the first toss object during a playing of the toss game, wherein the stand can be detachably coupled with the first board or the second board. 
     
     
         5 . The toss game system of  claim 4 , wherein the openings on the first board form a first pattern and the openings on the second board form a second pattern different from the first pattern. 
     
     
         6 . The toss game system of  claim 3 , wherein the first board includes a top surface, a coefficient of friction between the first toss object and the top surface is greater than zero. 
     
     
         7 . The toss game system of  claim 3 , wherein the third opening is located closer to the first end than the first opening, the first opening is located closer to the second end than the third opening. 
     
     
         8 . The toss game system of  claim 1 , further including at least a plurality of first tossed objects and a plurality of second tossed objects, wherein at least one of a color or shape of the first tossed objects is different from at least one of a color or shape of the second tossed objects. 
     
     
         9 . The toss game system of  claim 1 , wherein the first board has a centerline and the openings form a symmetrical pattern relative to the centerline. 
     
     
         10 . The toss game system of  claim 1 , wherein the first board includes a first numerical marking located next to the first opening, a second numerical marking located next to the second opening, and a third numerical marking located next to the third opening, wherein the numerical markings correspond to the assigned scores of the associated openings. 
     
     
         11 . A toss game system, comprising:
 a) at least one first toss object;   b) a first board including a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening, wherein each of the openings has an assigned score and configured to receive the first toss object during a playing of a toss game, an area of the first opening is smaller than areas of the second opening and the third opening;   c) a second board including the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening, wherein the openings on the first board form a first pattern and the openings on the second board form a second pattern different from the first pattern; and   d) a stand to be detachably coupled with the first board or the second board.   
     
     
         12 . A method for playing an object tossing game comprising the steps of:
 a) providing a first board includes a plurality of openings each having an assigned score and configured to receive a first toss object during a playing of the toss game;   b) setting a target score;   c) obtaining score by tossing a first toss object toward the first board and to fall in one of the the openings, wherein the score earned is the assigned score of the opening receiving the first toss object;   d) summing obtained scores to arrive at an accumulated score;   e) subtracting the newly obtained score from the accumulated score if the sum of the accumulated score and the newly obtained score is greater than the target score; and   e) achieving a game victory when a sum of the accumulated score and the newly earned score is equal to the target score.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , further including designating assigned scores to the openings based on areas of the openings, wherein at least two of the openings have different areas, the assigned score designated to the opening is inversely proportional to the area of the opening. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising elevating the first board by coupling the first board with a stand, wherein the first board includes a first end and an opposite second end, the stand is configured to selectively increase or decrease a height that the first end is above the second end. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising introducing a challenge variety by attachably decoupling the first board from the stand and detachably coupling a second board with the stand,
 wherein the second board has a plurality of openings each having an assigned score and configured to receive the first toss object during a playing of the toss game, the openings on the first board form a first pattern and the openings on the second board form a second pattern different from the first pattern.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising introducing another challenge variety by attachably decoupling the second board from the stand and detachably coupling a third board with the stand,
 wherein the third board has a plurality of openings each having an assigned score and configured to receive the first toss object during a playing of the toss game, the openings on the third board form a third pattern different from the first pattern and the second pattern, and   a player can achieve a complete victory only by achieving two game victories or reaching the target score playing on at least two of the boards.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising providing at least a plurality of the first tossed objects and a plurality of second tossed objects, wherein at least one of a color or shape of the first tossed objects is different from at least one of a color or shape of the second tossed objects. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising creating the openings on the first board to form a symmetrical pattern relative to a centerline of the first board. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising obtaining score by tossing a second toss object toward the first board and pushes the first toss object already on the first board to fall in one of the openings, wherein the score obtained is the assigned score of the opening receiving the first toss object if the sum of the accumulated score and the newly obtained score is less than or equal to the target score. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the step of providing the first board includes forming a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening on the first board, wherein an area of the first opening is smaller than area areas of the second opening and the third opening, the first opening is configured to be adjacent to the third opening.
