 a first circular can holder having a first diameter disposed within the first base station and extending more than half of a depth of the first base station. 
   
     
     
         2 . The game apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first magnet disposed on the upper surface of the first base station.   
     
     
         3 . The game apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first backstop clip disposed at a first end of the first station for receipt of a first backboard.   
     
     
         4 . The game apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first diameter reducer insertable within the first circular can holder.   
     
     
         5 . The game apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a second base station comprising:
 a third projectile storage area disposed within an upper surface of the second base station, conformed to the shape of the first tipped throwing device; 
 a fourth projectile storage area disposed within the upper surface of the second base station, conformed to the shape of the second tipped throwing device; and 
 a second circular can holder having a second diameter disposed within the second base station and extending more than half of a depth of the second base station. 
 
 
     
     
         6 . The game apparatus of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a second diameter reducer insertable within the second circular can holder.   
     
     
         7 . The game apparatus of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a second magnet disposed on the upper surface of the second base station.   
     
     
         8 . The game apparatus of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a second backstop clip disposed at a first end of the second base station for receipt of a second backboard.   
     
     
         9 . The game apparatus of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a second diameter reducer insertable within the second circular can holder.   
     
     
         10 . The game apparatus of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a bottle opener disposed at a bottom of the second circular can holder.   
     
     
         11 . The game apparatus of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a third circular can holder having a third diameter that is less than the first diameter and the disposed within the first circular can holder.   
     
     
         12 . The game apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a fourth circular can holder having a fourth diameter that is less than the second diameter and the disposed within the second circular can holder.   
     
     
         13 . The game apparatus of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a fifth circular can holder having a fifth diameter that is less than the third diameter and the disposed within the third circular can holder.   
     
     
         14 . The game apparatus of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a sixth circular can holder having a sixth diameter that is less than the fourth diameter and the disposed within the fourth circular can holder.   
     
     
         15 . The game system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first notch extending laterally from an outer edge of the first circular can holder and terminating at a side edge of the first base station;   a second notch extending laterally from the outer edge of the first circular can holder and terminating at the side edge of the first base station and vertically situated lower on the first base station than the first notch; and   a third notch extending laterally from the outer edge of the first circular can holder and terminating at the side edge of the first base station and vertically situated lower on the first base station than the second notch.   
     
     
         16 . The game apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of interlocking connectors disposed on a second end of the first base station; and   a ramp attachable to the plurality of interlocking connectors and extending from the second end of the first base station.   
     
     
         17 . The game apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a stake aperture disposed within the first base station for receipt of a securing stake.   
     
     
         18 . The game apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a breakable block comprising an upper portion, a lower portion, a vertical slot opening, and notches at a lower end for detachable insertion into the first base station.   
     
     
         19 . A game system, comprising:
 a first base station comprising:
 at least one projectile storage area disposed within an upper surface of the first base station, conformed to a shape of a tipped throwing device; and 
 a first circular can holder having a first diameter disposed within the first base station; 
   a second base station, comprising:
 at least one projectile storage area disposed within an upper surface of the second base station, conformed to a shape of the first tipped throwing device; and
