Throwing line set about 10-13 feet (3-4m) from the target box.

HOW TO PLAY
1

A wooden panel with several numbered holes of different sizes stands upright at one end of the playing area.

2

Players take turns tossing flat discs underhand, aiming to land them through the holes rather than bouncing off the panel.

3

Each hole is worth a different point value, with smaller or farther holes usually scoring more.

4

Discs that miss every hole or bounce off the panel score nothing for that toss.

5

Players total their scores across an agreed number of rounds, and the highest score wins.
