ring toss
Hoops on pegs
Ring toss is a game where players throw rings at upright pegs, trying to hook them.
It's a staple of carnivals, county fairs, and backyard amusements: We spent ten dollars on ring toss trying to win a stuffed bear.
The game requires aim and a gentle touch—too much force and the ring bounces off.
