Zusammenfassung:A tossing game wherein a projectile is tossed toward a target. The projectile adheres to the target using magnetic attraction. The projectile is configured as a segmented ring that contains a plurality of segments. Each of the segments is interconnected to two adjacent segments at flexible joints, wherein the plurality of segments and flexible joints form a continuous ring. Magnets are affixed to at least some of the segments. The magnets enable the segmented ring to attach to a magnetic surface on the target when thrown against the target. When the projectile is thrown and impacts the target, the structure of the segmented ring bends along the various flexible joints. The bending of the projectile absorbs much of the rebounding force at impact.
