Abstract:
A toy target scoring game, comprising:a toy target structure made of combinable subcomponents, wherein each subcomponent is marked with indicia indicating a value for each subcomponent;a projectile;a toy catapult having a frame including a rotational-axis-defining region, an elongate arm with first and second ends and a middle region, the first end being constructed to be rotatable about an axis defined by the rotational-axis-defining region, and the second end being constructed to hold the projectile, and an arm-protection member circumferenfially attached to the arm near the middle region, and a lever arm associated with the frame and including an arm-engagement member for releasably holding the elongate arm in a cocked position; wherein the lever arm is actuable to release the elongate arm from the cocked position to cause the projectile to be thrown from the second end of the elongate arm; andwherein the toy catapult is constructed for selectively throwing the projectile at the toy target structure with a force sufficient to cause at least one subcomponent to separate from the target structure, thereby allowing a score to be calculated each time the toy catapult is used to throw the projectile, with the score being calculated based upon the value of each subcomponent separated from the toy target structure.
