Abstract

A game board and plurality of game pieces, are provided, called "jumpertop clipper disks". A jumpertop clipper disk is fun because it may be jump-flighted by flexing it between thumb and forefinger, aiming, and quick-releasing, so that it will jump forth as an aimed, self propelled projectile, toward positively scored targets and negatively scored hazards. This requires skill in aiming and quick-releasing to hit targets and avoid hazards. Clipper disks may be decorated with indicia and logo. They may be clipped onto clothes, hair, school books, and personal effects as decorations. They may be linked, one to another, to form a chain of identifiable, collectible disks, for team identity. Score is kept for each jump-flight. The highest net score for player or for team, is the winner.
