  • As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 2 can include six cavities 18, each of substantially equivalent volume. For example, a base board 13 can cover the bottom of the game board 2, such as from the front wall 6 to the back wall 8 and from the first side wall 10 to the second side wall 12. That is, a bag can be tossed into each of the cavities 18 and be retained.
  • Further, the game board 2 can include a support member 4 configured to elevate the back wall 8 relative to the front wall 6. The support member 4 can be moveably coupled to the game board 2, such as by a movable coupling 5, including, but not limited to, a hinge, living hinge, or the like, so that the support member 4 can be folded to be substantially flush with the back wall 8 or substantially flush with base board 13. Such a configuration can permit easier transport, storage, or set-up of the game board 2. In an example, the support member 4 is separable from the game board 2.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 2 can include a handle 20-A, such as integrated into the first cross member 14. The handle 20-A can include a cutout of the first cross member 17 sized and shaped such that a player or other person could insert their hand through the cutout so as to grip and lift at the first cross member 17. Although shown in the approximate center of the game board 2, embodiments are not so limited. For example, the handle 20-A can be included on at least one of the front wall 6, the back wall 8, the first side wall 10, the second side wall 12, or one of the second or third cross members 16-A, 16-B. In an example, the game board 2 can include a plurality of handles.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates detailed views of examples of the bottom edge 22 and the top edge 24 of the game board 2 illustrated in FIG. 1. As described herein, the bottom edge 22 can include a coupling feature such as a cutout 23 corresponding to a protrusion 25 of the top edge 24. For simplicity, only one configuration is illustrated, however the coupling features can be reversed in an example. The protrusion 25 is sized and shaped so as to seat within the cutout 23. Such a configuration permits two or more game boards 2 to be stackable, such as for transportation or storage. In an example, a locking feature can be included on the game boards 2 so as to lock two game boards 2 together once they have been seated. Further, although FIG. 2 illustrates corresponding seating features 23, 25 as a coupling feature for two game boards, other configurations are contemplated.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a top view of the game board 2. A total length 30 of the game board 2 can be defined by the first cross member 14 or the first and second side walls 10, 12. The total length 30 can be from about 12 inches to about 48 inches. In an example, the total length can be about 21 inches. The second and third cross members 16-A, 16-B can be spaced from one another and positioned from the front and back walls 6, 8 such that the game board 2 is evenly divided into thirds along its total width 32. The total width 32 of the game board 2 can be less than the total length 30. The total width 32 can be from about 8 inches to about 32 inches. In an example, the total width 32 of the game board can be about 14 inches. Each of the six cavities 18 can define a volume with a square cross section as viewed from the top. A cavity length 34 of each of the six cavities can be substantially equal to one third of the total length 30 of the game board, minus the thicknesses of the walls defining the game board. In an example, the cavity length can be about 6.25 inches. In an example, the six cavities 18 can be different volumes, cross-sectional areas, or both.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a side view of the game board 2 in an elevated position, with a different handle 20-B. As shown in FIG. 4, the game board 2 includes the handle 20-B positioned above the first cross member (not shown), for example. The handle 20-B can be sized and shaped such that a player or other person could insert their hand through the cutout so as to grip and lift at the first cross member. As described herein, the handle 20-B can be positioned above the first cross member, the second cross member, the third cross member, the first or second side wall, the back wall, or the front wall. In an example, the game board 2 can include a plurality of handles 20-B.
  • As shown, the game board 2 is elevated by the support member 4. A height of the game board 42 can be defined by the first or second side wall (e.g., 10, 12). The height 42 of the game board can be from about 2 inches to about 14 inches. In an example, the height 42 can be about 8 inches. Further, although not shown, a height of the front wall (e.g., 6, FIG. 1) and the back wall (e.g., 8, FIG. 1) can be the same as the height 42 or vary. For example, the height of the front wall can be less than the height 42 so as to increase difficult of a tossed bag staying at least partially within one of the two front cavities. Further, the height of the back wall can be greater than the height 42 so as to decrease difficult of tossing the bag into one of the two back cavities, such as with a bank shot. That is, in various example, the height 42, height of the side walls, and height of the first, second, and third cross members can vary, so as to increase or decrease difficulty of the game. In an example, the height of at least one of the first side wall, the second side wall, the front wall, the back wall, the first cross member, the second cross member, and the third cross member is greater than the height of the bag, as described herein.
  • An overall elevation 43 of the game board 2 can be set by the support member length 44 and an angle α of the support member relative to the base board 13. Although the overall elevation 43 of the game board 2 is shown as constant, a variable height of the game board is contemplated, so as to increase or decrease difficulty of the game. The support member length 44 can be from about 2 inches to about 14 inches in length. The movable coupling 5 can permit the support member 4 to vary the overall elevation 43 of the game board 2 relative to the front end of the board. For example, the movable coupling 5 can include a locking mechanism, such as a ratchet or pin, to lock the overall elevation 43 of the game board 2 at a desired setting. In an example, the movable coupling 5 can be physically limited from extending beyond the plane of the back wall (e.g., 8). A game play length 46 includes the length of spaced needed to set-up the game board 2. The game play length 46 can vary according to the dimensions of the game board 2, the length of the support member 44, the angle α, or the overall elevation 43. In certain examples, the game play length 46 can be from about 12 inches to about 52 inches.
  • In an example, the support member 4 can include one or more edge including a coupling feature, as described in association with FIG. 2. For example, one or more edge of the support member 4 can include a cutout 23 or a protrusion 25 corresponding to a respective protrusion or cutout, as described herein.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary bag 50-A. The bag 50-A is configured to resemble a bottle commonly used in the beverage industry. The bag 50-A can have a bag height 52 greater than a bag width 54. The bag height 52 can be from about 4 inches to about 12 inches, and in an example can be about 9 inches. A bottom of the bag can have a circular cross section with a diameter from about 1.5 inches to about 4 inches. In an example, the bag 50-A can be assembled from a number of sections. For example, the bag 50-A can include four substantially identical quadrants configured to be coupled together. The bag 50-A can include a label 56, such as a removable label, a printed on label, or a customizable label. For example, the label 50-A can include a ‘blank’ sleeve sized and shaped so as to surround a portion of the bag 50-A. The ‘blank’ sleeve can be customized by a player. Further, the bag 50-A or the label 56 can be purchased to customize the bag toss game. That is, the bag 50-A provides an attractive user perceptible display upon which advertising indicia, product logos, or the like can be displayed. A logo can include, for example a logo of a sport team, a college, a high school, a club, a company, a firm, a restaurant, a bar, an activity, a municipality, a country, or the like. Further, the bag 50-A can be colored so as to resemble a typical beverage bottle. For example, the bag 50-A can be brown or green with a silver top (e.g., a cap). In an example, the bag 50-A can be colored to represent at least one of a sport team, a college, a high school, a club, a company, a firm, an activity, a restaurant, a bar, a municipality, a country, or the like. The bag 50-A can include a filler material, such as corn, beans, plastic resin, recycled material, or other filler material commonly used with bean bags or a bag tossing game.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an additional example of a bag 50-B. The bag 50-B is configured to resemble a can commonly used in the beverage industry. The bag 50-B can have a bag height 62 greater than a bag width 64. The bag height 62 can be from about 4 inches to about 12 inches, and in an example can be about 9 inches. A bottom of the bag 50-B can have a circular cross section with a diameter from about 1.5 inches to about 4 inches. The bag 50-B can be of the standard dimensions used for soda cans in the United States or other countries, for example. In an example, the bag 50-B can be assembled from a number of sections. For example, the bag 50-B can include four substantially identical quadrants configured to be coupled together. A label 66 can be included on the bag 50-B, such as removably coupled or integral with the bag. Further, the bag 50-B can be customizable as described in reference to the bag 50-A of FIG. 5. Other bag designs beyond those shown in the figures are contemplated. For example, a sphere, cube, cylinder, or any other three dimensional geometric shaped bag can be used in connection with the bag toss game disclosed herein. Further, the bags 50-A, 50-B can includes a shape such an animal, sports team mascot, event mascot, country, or any other shape. In an example, the bag 50-A, 50-B can be molded, printed, such as 3-D printed, thermoset, or the like.
  • The bags 50-A, 50-B can be made of any type of material commonly used for bean bags. For example, the bags 50-A, 50-B can be made of nylon, canvas, various fabrics, or the like. Further, the bags 50-A, 50-B can include a number of decorative pieces or designs, such as a bottle cap, a soda can tab, or the like, so as to create a more realistic facsimile of an actual beverage container.

The game system set-up instructions can include providing a distance the two game boards should be placed apart, such as 21 feet from the front most part of one game board to the other game board.
  • The game rules can vary according to one-on-one play, team play, age of the players, or the like. An example set of rules is provided below as an example, and should not be taken as limiting:
  • Rule 1:
      • After teams are chosen, one member of each team goes to a game board, such that each game board has a member of each team. The team to go first is decided by a throw off. The youngest player throws first in the throw off. The first team to land a bag into the opposing game board goes first.
  • Rule 2:
      • The scorecard is located on the side of the bag carrier, and the score is kept by the person doing the throw off.
  • Rule 3:
      • Players must stand on the side of the game board. If you step past the front of the crate, it will be considered a foul and that bag will not count. The foul bag needs to be removed before the next player throws.
  • Rule 4:
      • Each team alternates shots beginning with the teat that scored last.
  • Rule 5:
      • If your bag lands in slot “1” in the game board mark off any slot “one” on the scorecard. Continue throwing bags until all 24 slots on the scorecard are marked off. Both teams can have multiple bags per slot but only the player with the most will be able to mark off their scorecard with the difference in bags. For example, Team 1 has 2 bags in slot “4” and Team 2 has 3 bags in slot “4”. Team 2 is allowed to mark one slot “4” on their scorecard and Team 1 cannot mark any slot on their scorecard.
  • Rule 6:
      • Winning:
        • 6-PACK!: If a player lands a bag in each individual slot in a single turn, it is called a “6 PACK!” and the team that player is a member of automatically wins.
        • Completion: The first team to mark off all their slots on the scorecard is considered the winning team.
