Abstract:

A spinning disk game is playable on any flat surface, including a table top as well as a prefabricated game board. The disk playing piece may be a coin, token or specially formed disk having a circular edge that permits it to undergo spinning movement about a vertical axis as it is projected across the playing surface. Spinning motion and linear projection of the disk are produced by manually thumping the disk while it is held upright. If a prefabricated playing board is not available, any movable objects such as slips of paper can be used as targets. Multiple targets are grouped in separate rows and the rows are spaced apart to permit a spinning disk to be projected along a target path lying between adjacent targets of one row to a designated target lying in another row. Various levels of skill and manual dexterity are required to project the disk in upright, spinning motion, to thump the spinning disk to change its trajectory to a designated target, and to seize the spinning disk between a player's two thumbs.
