Example Embodiments—FIGS. 1-4
[0039]FIG. 1A is a side view of the game platform 12. The game platform 12 has a playing surface 15 (the upward facing surface) and an opposed, downward facing surface 16. A plurality of fasteners 10, 11, which extend from the surface 16, allow the game platform 12 to be mounted and retained on top of the inverted chair.
[0040]In this example embodiment, the fasteners 10, 11 are in the form of clamps having spaced apart arms for receiving the tubular members of the chair. As a clamp is pressed onto a tubular member, the arms of the clamp elastically deflect apart to receive the tubular member and then return toward their initial condition to retain the tubular member.
[0041]FIG. 1B is a bottom view of the game platform 12 with the fasteners 10, 11 mounted on the game platform 12. The fasteners 10, 11 may be fixed to the surface 16 of the game platform using any conventional means, such as adhesives, staples, rivets, screws, nails, welds, etc.
[0042]The game...

[0045]FIG. 5 illustrates a folding chair in an upright position. FIG. 6 illustrates the folding chair with the back reclined and inverted (turned upside down) to accept the game platform 12. In these embodiments, the game platform 12 may be fabricated from a pliable material, such as fabric or vinyl for example, and the fasteners (or clamps) may be loosely and separately provided from the game platform 12.
[0046]FIG. 7 illustrates the folding chair with the game platform 12 attached to the front leg 7 and a tubular member spanning across the back of the chair. Here, the game platform 12 spans across rear leg 6. Also, the back supporting leg 8 is adjusted downward to lie flat against the back of the chair. FIG. 8 is a top view of the folding chair with the game platform 12 attached to the front leg 7 and the tubular member spanning across the back of the chair.
[0047]As shown in FIG. 9, the game platform 12 may be attached to the front leg 7 and the back su...

[0049]A non-limiting embodiment may implement a more rigid game platform 12 (similar to the ones depicted in FIGS. 1-4) in combination with separately provided fasteners (similar to the ones depicted in FIGS. 7-9).
[0050]With reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the game platform 12 has a playing surface 15 and a back surface 16. The back surface 16 is provided with a backing 25 in the form of partitions that define receptacles 26. The receptacles 26 are shaped and sized to receive and retain fasteners 30. FIG. 12 illustrates four fasteners 30, but the invention is not limited to any particular number of fasteners. Furthermore, it will be appreciated that each fastener 30 may be removed from one receptacle 26 and reinserted into another receptacle. In this way, the fasteners 30 may be located on the back surface 16 of the game platform 12 to universally fit different chairs.
[0051]Turning to FIG. 13, the fastener 30 may include a base 32 that supports a clamp 3...
