Equipment for the playing of a pitching game in which discs and rings are thrown at holes and pins located in each of two similar game boards, each of said game boards being fitted with pins which are generally perpendicular to the face of the board, and with holes in the face of each board, each board being fitted with detachable hinge members so that two such boards may be joined together by such hinge members, so that when joined, the boards may be rotated relative to each other about the formed hinge axis, with the hinge members so located that the pins of each board will rotate, in the closed position, into the holes of the other board, where the faces of both boards with respect to the location and size of the holes and the pins are similar to each other in the opened playing position, said boards each being of a thickness greater than the free height of each of said pins above the board surface to which said pins are fastened, with each hole in each of said boards being of a depth that is greater than the free height of the pin that is rotated into the hole when the boards are hinged together and rotated into the closed position, the boards in a closed position lying with their playing surfaces abutting each other.
