Abstract:
1. A toss game, comprising: at least one target board comprising: a plurality of board perimeter illumination lamps around said target board; a battery storage compartment housing a first replaceable battery for selectively supplying power to said plurality of board perimeter illumination lamps; a first ON/OFF switch controlling power from said first replaceable battery; a first target perimeter illumination lamp for illuminating said first target opening with a first color; a second target perimeter illumination lamp for illuminating said second target opening with a second color; at least one rear support leg attached by a rear hinge to said target board; a front support frame attached by a front hinge to said target board; a speaker having an audio processor; an audio ON/OFF switch for controlling a signal applied to said speaker; at least one game piece, each comprising: a detector for at least one of said first target opening and said second target opening, each having a photoelectric emitter and photoelectric receiver forming a detection field which spans said first or second target opening and which provides an electric signal whenever said at least one game piece passes through said first target opening or said second target opening, wherein each detector is positioned on a lower surface of said target board and at a perimeter edge of said first and second target opening so as to not impede or assist passage of an object therethrough; and, a software operated controller module that controls said audio processor, said board perimeter illumination lamps, and said first target perimeter illumination lamp in response to said electric signal; wherein said software operated control module controls said perimeter illumination driver to cause said board perimeter illumination lamps to illuminate in a continuous and a sequential flashing manner; wherein said first target perimeter illumination lamp signals when said detector detects said at least one game piece entering said first target opening; wherein said second target perimeter illumination lamp signals when said detector detects said at least one game piece entering said second target opening; wherein first target perimeter illumination lamp lights in said continuous and said sequential flashing manner whenever said at least one game piece passes through said first target opening; wherein second target perimeter illumination lamp lights in said continuous and said sequential flashing manner whenever said at least one game piece passes through said second target opening; wherein said board perimeter illumination lamps illuminate during game play; and, wherein said rear support leg and said front support frame fold under said target board.
