Benefits of technology

The invented game piece has an aperture that affects its weight, air resistance, and allows the human player to develop hand throwing techniques to rotate the game piece. The aperture also enables multiple game pieces to overlay each other when adhered to a target surface. The game piece is flexible and can magnetically adhere to a magnetically attractive surface through physical contact between the leading portion and the surface. The technical effects of the patent text are improved weight control, reduced air resistance, improved handling, and more efficient adhesion to target surfaces.

Problems solved by technology

However, none of the prior art magnetic toss game pieces provide a game piece design that is optimally adapted to enable successful adhesion of the game pieces to a target surface when the game pieces collide against the target surface as thrown by a human player.

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...
