Description:
FIELD 
       [0001]    This application relates generally to games and in particular, to toss games. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    People spend tens of billions of dollars each year on entertainment. Many people find diversion and enjoyment in playing games, and many others enjoy adult-themed products. In-home non-computerized games accounted for more than one billion in U.S. sales in 2009 and U.S. adult novelty sales were more than 1.5 billion. 
         [0003]    Most games are directed to children, even though many adults still enjoy playing games such as board games and skill games throughout their lives. Horseshoes, shuffleboard, bocce, and croquet are some games played by people of all ages but generally associated with adults. Adult novelty devices are generally directed towards being used during sexual activity, or as non-interactive humorous items, and therefore not generally used in a social setting as game entertainment. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0004]    Embodiments of adult-themed toss games are discussed and illustrated that provide group entertainment for adults without sexual activity, making the adult-themed game more accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of people. Embodiments can include a target board for a risque toss game having target holes for receiving tossed projectile objects, the tossed projectile objects earning points for a player when tossed through the target holes. The target board can include a front target board surface bearing a depiction of a woman, the depiction visually suggesting a plurality of female orifices, and a plurality of female orifice target holes, each female orifice target hole being located in place of a visually suggested female orifice. 
         [0005]    The plurality of visually suggested female orifices can include at least two of a woman&#39;s mouth, a woman&#39;s vulva, a woman&#39;s hands, and woman&#39;s anus in a rear-view depiction, the woman being bent over with legs spread apart so as to visually suggest at least one female orifice. The hands of the woman can be depicted and positioned so as to visually suggest at least one female orifice. The target holes can be capable of receiving at least one projectile in the form of a bean bag. 
         [0006]    Embodiments of a risque adult-themed toss game, the toss game can be played by presenting a target board with a front target board surface bearing a depiction of a woman visually suggesting a plurality of female orifices, with a plurality of target holes located in place of a visually suggested female orifice. Then, allowing a plurality of players to take turns tossing at least one projectile object towards the toss game board with intent to toss the at least one projectile object through a female orifice target hole. After tossing the projectiles, assigning at least one point for tossing the projectile object through a female orifice target hole. 
         [0007]    In some embodiments, the plurality of players must stand behind a designated toss line when tossing the projectile object towards the toss game board. The plurality of players is divided into two teams, each team allowing players to take turns tossing at least one projectile. Each player of the plurality of players takes turns tossing four projectile objects during each turn. The two teams can alternate allowing players to take turns tossing the at least one projectile object. The game ends with enough points are earned by at least one of a player, and a team, for the at least one of a player, and a team, to reach a winning score for a round of the game. 
         [0008]    In some embodiments, one point is assigned for tossing a projectile object through a target hole located in place of a visually suggested woman&#39;s anus, two points for tossing a projectile object through a target hole located in place of a visually suggested woman&#39;s vulva, and three points for tossing a projectile object through a target hole located in place of a visually suggested woman&#39;s mouth. 
         [0009]    At least one point can be assigned for tossing a projectile object through a target hole, and can also be assigned for tossing a projectile such that the projectile lands and stays resting inside the target hole. The at least one point assigned for tossing a projectile object such that the projectile object lands and stays resting inside the target hole can be taken away if the projectile object thereafter falls from the target hole. Similarly, one point can be assigned for tossing a projectile object such that the projectile object lands and stays resting on a top surface or edge of the target board, but can be taken away if it falls from the top of the target board. Points accumulated beyond a winning score in one round can be applied to a new round.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0017]    The following description supplies specific details in order to provide a thorough understanding. Nevertheless, the skilled artisan would understand that embodiments of adult-themed toss games and associated ways of playing the games can be implemented and used without employing these specific details. Indeed, exemplary embodiments and associated methods can be placed into practice by modifying the illustrated units and associated rules of play and can be used in conjunction with other games. For example, while the description below focuses generally on a bean-bag toss game with first to 11 or 21 scoring rules, any type of toss toy, such as balls, sponges, coins, molded object, etc., may be used as desired. Similarly, the position of the illustrated figure and corresponding placement of scoring holes may be variously accommodated. 
         [0018]    One exemplary adult-themed toss game is illustrated in  FIGS. 1-4 . In the Figures, toss game  100  is shown. Toss game  100  can include target board  110 , depiction  120 , target holes  122 ,  124 ,  126 ,  128  stand  130 , and projectiles  150 . Target board  110  may be formed from any suitable material for use in a projectile toss game, such as wood, metal, corrugated plastic or paper, plastic, etc. 
         [0019]    In some embodiments, target board  110  may also include target board reinforcements  112 ,  114 , best illustrated in  FIG. 3 . Target board reinforcements  112  can be located around the outer edge of target board  110  to provide structural strength to target board  110 . Similarly, target board reinforcement  114  can be located across the width and near the center of target board  110 . In some embodiments, target board reinforcement  114  may include two members with connected together with a hinge (not shown) to allow toss game  100  to be folded for storage, transportation, or both. In such embodiments, target board  110  may include two segments, or otherwise foldable at the hinge line. 
         [0020]    Target board  110  may be about 4 ft. long by about 2 ft wide. In various embodiments, target board  110  may be very small, in the case of a travel type game, using marbles or other small objects as projectiles, or may be larger, such as for a carnival or other large event. 
         [0021]    Depiction  120  can be that of a woman, with target holes  122 ,  124 ,  126 ,  128  corresponding in location and general shape with the bodily orifices of women generally associated with sexual activities. For example, target hole  122  can be located at the mouth of depiction  120 , target hole  124  can be located at the vulva of depiction  120 , and target hole  126  can be located at the anus of depiction  120 , and target hole  128  can be located at the circled hands of depiction  120 . Additionally, in some embodiments, target holes may be located at the breasts of depiction  120 . In the illustrated embodiment, depiction  130  shows a woman from the back with her head showing between her knees. 
         [0022]    Each of target holes  122 ,  124 ,  126 ,  128  can have a distinct shape and size, corresponding to the location on depiction  130 . For example, for a target board of about 4 feet by 2 feet, target hole  122  may be generally a circle with a diameter of about 2 inches, target hole  124  may be shaped generally as an elongated ellipse with a length of about 4 inches and a width of about 2 inches. And target hole  126  may be generally circular with a diameter of about 3 inches. Target holes  128  may be generally elliptical with an opening of about 2 inches by 3 inches. The varying shape and sizes of the target holes can also provide differing degrees of difficulty in tossing a projectile through the opening. Similarly, the shape and sizes of the target holes can be adjusted based on depiction  130  and the size of target board  110 . 
         [0023]    In some embodiments, depiction  120  may include different representations, such as more than one woman, a man, or combination of women and men, each depiction having target holes associated with sexual activities, and target board  110  may be sized accordingly. In such embodiments, any appropriate number of target holes can be present. 
         [0024]    Stand  130  can be attached to an edge of target board  110  to provide an angled presentation to persons playing toss game  100 . Stand  130  can have a length corresponding to about a 15 degree incline for target board  110 , as represented by a in  FIG. 4 . Base  132  of stand  130  may be formed such that the entire surface of base  132  is in contact with a support surface when toss game  100  is presented at an angle for playing. For example, an end of stand  130  may be cut 15 degrees (corresponding to the degree in including of target board  110 ) off of perpendicular to provide base  132 . In some embodiments, protective feet (not shown) can be provided for the portions of toss game  100  that are intended to contact a support surface, to protect toss game  100  and the support surface from wear and damage. 
         [0025]    In some embodiments, stand  130  can be attached with a hinge to target board  110  or target board reinforcements  112  to provide for stand  130  folding against target board  110  for storage, transportation, or both. Similarly, stand  130  may be selectively attachable with pins, fasteners, latches, etc. to allow stand  130  to be detached for storage, transportation, or both. 
         [0026]    Projectiles  150  may be bean bags or any other suitable projectile that can pass through each of target openings  122 ,  124 ,  126 ,  128 . In some embodiments, eight projectiles can be included with toss game  100 , team  1  projectiles  152  having an appearance distinct from team  2  projectiles  154 . For example, as shown in  FIG. 1 , team  1  projectiles  152  may be striped, while team  2  projectiles  154  may be spotted. Simiarly,  FIG. 2  shows two projectiles  154  having been tossed with one resting on target board  110 , one having passed through a target hole and in the air after having been thrown. In some embodiments, projectiles  150  may be in the general form, suggesting or depicting body parts associated with sexual activities. For example, projectiles  150  may be in the form of or suggesting a male organ, tongue, ejaculate, breasts, etc., to provide additional risque shock value to toss game  100 . Of course, the number, color, shape, size, etc. of projectiles  150  can be selected as desired. 
         [0027]    In some embodiments, such as is shown in  FIG. 5 , toss game  100  may be played by each of two teams taking turns tossing projectiles  150  at target board  110  with the objective of passing projectiles  150  through target openings  122 ,  124 ,  126 ,  128 . Different sizes and sizes of the target openings, along with the different proximities to a player and to the edges of target board  110  provide for different scoring values for each different target opening. For example, target opening  122  can be worth 3 points, target opening  124  worth two points, and target opening  126  worth 1 point. In some embodiments, a projectile resting on the top edge of target board  110  can receive one point, which can be deducted in the projectile resting on the top edge falls of during subsequent play during the assigned turn. 
         [0028]    In one exemplary rule system, each team can have one or more people, with each person having at least one opportunity to toss a projectile during each turn. Team  1  first tosses all four projectiles  152  in succession, scoring the appropriate value for each projectile  152  that passes through a target opening. The score for team  1  is recorded, and team  2  tosses projectiles  154  in succession. The score for team  2  is recorded and then the projectiles  152 ,  154  for each team retrieved. In the second round of tossing, team  2  goes first, followed by team  1 . This sequence is then followed for as many additional rounds as are necessary. If a projectile  150  is partially lodged in a target opening, the team receives the point value for the target opening, but no additional points should the projectile finally pass through target board  110  and onto a support surface underneath. In this rule system, the first team to reach exactly  11  or exactly  21  is the winner. If a team exceeds  21 , that team loses, but then begins the next game with the amount of points exceeding  21  from the previous game. 
         [0029]    Other scoring and turn rule systems can be used with toss game  100  as desired by the participants. For example, the values of the different target holes can be modified, with the first team to reach  100  being the winner, or other similar modifications. Similarly, more than two teams can play, switching off projectiles  150 , or including additional sets of projectiles corresponding to the number of teams. 
         [0030]    In addition to any previously indicated modification, numerous other variations and alternative arrangements may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this description, and appended claims are intended to cover such modifications and arrangements. Thus, while the information has been described above with particularity and detail in connection with what is presently deemed to be the most practical and preferred aspects, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous modifications, including, but not limited to, form, function, manner of operation and use may be made without departing from the principles and concepts set forth herein. Also, as used herein, examples are meant to be illustrative only and should not be construed to be limiting in any manner.
