Abstract:
A game device including a target toward which discs are torsed by players to achieve a winning score. The target consists of a steel tray partially filled with fluid. It is covered by a transparent plate. Discs bearing numerical scoring values float in the fluid and are attractable by a magnetic force. When the magnetic tossing discs are thrown on the target plate, the magnetic force therefrom causes the floating discs to flow toward it. The player who tossed the magnetic disc receives a score based on the scoring value of the disc which becomes disposed directly beneath the magnetic disc. In a second embodiment the tossed projectile is a spherically shaped magnet and the floating elements are balls each having paddles projecting therefrom and a plurality of numerical scoring values.
