Patent ID: 7905488

Claim:
A lawn dart game, comprising: a target having a plurality of target areas and a processor, each target area having a set of first and second electrical grids, each first grid being separate from and out of contact with each second grid; wherein said first and second grids collectively define a radially alternating configuration; a power supply; a dart having a conductive front portion sized to span between respective first and second grids, said dart front portion having a blunt configuration; and an output device; wherein said processor is in data communication with said power supply, each said grid, and said output device; wherein said processor includes programming to actuate said power supply to impart a level of capacitance between respective first and second grids; wherein said processor includes programming to measure amount of time required for said level of capacitance between said first and second grids of each said set to be respectively discharged; wherein said processor includes programming to detect any change in said amount of time required for said level of capacitance between respective first and second grids to be discharged; wherein said processor includes programming to actuate said output device to announce a detected change in amount of time required for said level of capacitance between any said first and second grids to be discharged; a target transmitter in data communication with said processor; a remote control device having a remote control processor, a remote control receiver for receiving data from said target transmitter, and a remote control display; said remote control processor being in data communication with said remote control receiver and said remote control display; a target receiver in data communication with said processor; wherein said remote control device includes a user input device and a remote control transmitter for sending data to said target receiver, said remote control processor being in data communication with said remote control transmitter and said user input device; wherein at least one said target area is defined by substantially concentric circles; and wherein said first and second grids of each respective set are configured to maintain a predetermined spacing between said first and second grids.
