Abstract

The object toss target game includes a board preferably with holes in gaming regions to provide a gameplay surface. A support is pivotally connected to the bottom of the board in spring-biased fashion to maintain the board in a neutral position level with the ground when there are no gaming objects are on the top surface of the board. When gaming objects of on the surface of the board and there is uneven weighting on the top surface due to the gaming objects on the gameplay surface, the gameplay surface will tilt providing dynamic gameplay. The board may also be two boards hingedly connected to each other so the board may be folded into to a compact size and shape to reveal a handle to facilitate transport and storage.

Claims

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An object toss target game using objects that can be tossed, comprising:
 a board having a top surface and a bottom surface; the board having a plurality of gaming regions;   a member movably connected to the bottom of the board and being configured and arranged to rest on a support; the board being spring-biased to a neutral position level relative to the surface via the support;   whereby, upon tossing of an object onto the top surface of board, uneven weight on the top surface of the board causes the board to tilt to a non-level position relative to the support.   
     
     
         2 . The object toss target game of  claim 1 , wherein the member is at least one leg. 
     
     
         3 . The object toss target game of  claim 1 , wherein the support is connected to the bottom surface of the board at a substantial middle portion thereof dividing the board into two gaming regions. 
     
     
         4 . The object toss game of  claim 1 , wherein the support is pivotally connected to the bottom surface of the board. 
     
     
         5 . The object toss game of  claim 1 , wherein the support is spring-biased to the member by a spring. 
     
     
         6 . The object toss game of  claim 1 , wherein the objects are selected from the group consisting of beanbags, balls, and horseshoes. 
     
     
         7 . The object toss target game of  claim 1 , wherein the board is substantially rectangular in shape. 
     
     
         8 . The object toss target game of  claim 3 , wherein the shape of each of the gaming regions of the board are substantial hexagonal. 
     
     
         9 . The object toss target game of  claim 1 , wherein the board includes at least one hole therethrough. 
     
     
         10 . The object toss target game of  claim 3 , wherein the board includes at least one hole in each of the gaming regions. 
     
     
         11 . The object toss target game of  claim 1 , wherein the board is a first board portion having a top surface and a second board portion having a top surface hingedly connected to each other by hinge. 
     
     
         12 . The object toss target game of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a lock securing the first board portion to the second board portion whereby the top surface of the first board portion and the top surface of the second board portion are substantially co-planar with each other thereby providing a gameplay surface.   
     
     
         13 . The object toss target game of  claim 11 , wherein the support is connected to the hinge.
