Title: Tomahawk board game

Description:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to target games, and in particular to a tomahawk board game. This game was designed with fun and safety in mind. The tomahawk is made of either plastic or foam rubber to make it safe but durable for office use as well as home or camp use. This invention employs a hook and loop fastening means to hold the tomahawk on the game board when it makes contact. 
    
    
     FIG. 1 shows the side view of the tomahawk after it has made contact with the game board. 
     FIG. 2 shows the tomahawk from a frontal angle (1) illustrating the blade that will stick to the target. 
     The view in FIG. 3 (2) shows the front of the game board after the tomahawk has made contact. 
    
    
     In FIG. 1, the game board (3) and the tomahawk (4) are shown at a side view to illustrate how they connect (5). The tomahawk&#39;s blade edge (4) which is used for scoring has the loop side of the hook and loop fastening means attached to it. The game board (3) is covered with the hook side of the hook and loop fastening means. When the tomahawk blade makes contact with the game board (5), the two sides of the hook and loop fastening means will connect and hold. 
     The drawing in FIG. 3 also shows the tomahawk on a game board to illustrate how the game looks while being played. Both FIGS. 1 (6,7) and 3 (8,9) illustrate the blade edge of the tomahawk as having two sides rather than one. This is to allow for a better chance of the blade to make contact with the game board. FIG. 2 shows the front view of the tomahawk illustrating the slender design with the blade edge (1) covered with the loop side of the hook and loop fastening means.
