Benefits of technology

[0008] The present bag tossing game and gaming apparatus provide a lightweight, durable and consistent structure that solves many of the issues concerning traditional bag tossing games. Particularly, the present gaming apparatus utilizes a chamber to contain the gaming articles (e.g., tossing bags) while the gaming is being stored or transported. Moreover, the bag tossing game includes two gaming apparatus which are configured to be linked together for purposes of storage or transport, maintaining a compact structure, thus saving space in the process. Finally, the gaming apparatus can be formed of a plastic material which provides more durability, particularly with regard to breakage or exposure to weather, and provides better consistent game play for the players. These and additional advantages of the present invention will be more readily apparent in view of the following detailed description.

Problems solved by technology

While such sets are fun to play, they have inherent problems, mainly, weight, durability and consistency issues.

For example, many of the wooden games are very heavy and are difficult to carry, particularly for children.

These wooden sets also have durability issues, particularly when exposed to inclement weather conditions, such as rain.

Moreover, because many of these traditional sets are hand-carved, inconsistent play occurs from one set to the next.
