A tossing game wherein a projectile is tossed toward a target. The projectile adheres to the target using magnetic attraction. The projectile is configured as a segmented ring that contains a plurality of segments. Each of the segments is interconnected to two adjacent segments at flexible joints, wherein the plurality of segments and flexible joints form a continuous ring. Magnets are affixed to at least some of the segments. The magnets enable the segmented ring to attach to a magnetic surface on the target when thrown against the target. When the projectile is thrown and impacts the target, the structure of the segmented ring bends along the various flexible joints. The bending of the projectile absorbs much of the rebounding force at impact. |

A modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games provides an easily dismantling and easily transportable goal that can be reconfigured to increase or decrease the difficulty of a competitive game. The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive game has a goal frame, a first goal post, a second goal post, a base frame, and a locking mechanism. Players playing the competitive game attempt to propel a disc-shaped projectile through the goal frame to win the game. The goal frame is rotatably supported on opposite ends by the first goal post and the second goal post. The base frame prevents the goal frame from being displaced from the desired position on the playing field.Players can choose between different difficulty levels by using the locking mechanism to lock the rotation angle of the goal frame. This makes it more difficult to propel the disc-shaped throwing object past the goal frame. |
