Method and system for magnetic toss gaming

Abstract

Methods, systems and pieces for developing and challenging eye-hand coordination are provided. In one version, a game is provided that includes one or more magnetically charged game pieces. A magnetic target may be mounted on a preferably inclined and magnetically attractive target surface. One or more game piece forms an aperture. The aperture enables the game piece to be more easily tossed toward and adhere to a magnetically attractive surface. The apertures further allow the game pieces to overlay each other when adhered to the target surface.

Description

CONTINUATION-IN-PART[0001]This US Nonprovisional patent application is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 428,951 filed on Dec. 31, 2010 by inventor Wayne Morgan, the same inventor of this US Nonprovisional patent application, and titled METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MAGNETIC TOSS GAMING. This US Nonprovisional patent application claims benefit of the priority date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 428,951 for all purposes, and incorporates the entire disclosure of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 428,951 into this US Nonprovisional patent application.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to objects that may be tossed by hand. The present invention further relates to objects that temporarily adhere to a surface when thrown by hand against the surface.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Eye hand coordination is a skill that is useful in a myriad of human occupations and pastimes. The tossing of game pieces towards a targe...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The invented game piece preferably provides an aperture that (a.) reduces the weight of the instant game piece, (b.) affects the summed air resistance experienced by the game piece as the game piece flies through the air, and (c.) allows the human player to develop hand throwing techniques to cause the game piece to rotate about the aperture as the game piece is thrown from the player's hand and to a target surface. The aperture of the invented game piece further enables a plurality of game pieces to overlay each other when adhered to the target surface. More particularly, the method of the present invention enables an adherence of a first game piece on a target surface, wherein a portion of the target surface is encompassed by an aperture of the first game piece and the encompassed portion of the target surface remains exposed and available for adherence with the body of material of a second game piece.

[0010]The magnetic game piece is preferably flexible and allows, when the game piece is tossed toward a surface having a magnetic charge that is opposite and attra
