Abstract

A bean bag projectile comprises a disc shaped bag having a rigid connector member joining central portions of the two circular faces thereof. The connector configures the interior volume of the bean bag as a toroidal space, and the space is filled with a granular material. The bag retains its shape when struck by a like bag and is particularly suited for playing a toss shuffle board game which the bags slide and knock one another across a smooth playing surface.
