throwing game

Aim and pitch

A throwing game is any game centered on tossing an object toward a target or goal.

The category includes lawn games like horseshoes, cornhole, and bocce, as well as darts and ring toss.

We set up a few throwing games for the backyard party.

The term distinguishes these from ball games involving catching or hitting.
