The activity involves participants taking turns tossing metal discs, known as washers, towards a designated target. The objective is to land the washers within the target, thereby accruing points based on the specific area where the washer comes to rest. Players alternate throws until all washers have been launched, after which the score for that round is calculated. This sequence is repeated until a player or team reaches a predetermined score threshold.
This outdoor game provides opportunities for social interaction and friendly competition. Its accessibility, requiring minimal equipment and adaptable to various skill levels, makes it a popular choice for gatherings. While its precise origins are undocumented, anecdotal evidence suggests it developed organically from informal tossing games in rural communities, evolving over time into a more structured and standardized pastime.
