Abstract
Abstract A packaged game comprises a plurality of flexible plastic discs having various sizes and colors. The game is played by having one player throw a disc to attempt to at least partially cover his opponent''s disc in which event such player wins both discs. The game is terminated when one player wins all of the discs. Each disc has a tacky surface to better adhere to an opponent''s disc, and flat top and bottom surfaces with a curved edge to provide an aerodynamic design for improved accuracy in flight.
