Trigo Ring Toss

Trigo Ring Toss is played by 2, 3, or 4 players with the 3 Trigo Stars laid out in triangle shape, approximately 3 metres away from the throw line. Players take turns throwing the rings. The object is to throw your rings into the middle triangular space created by the Trigo Stars and score points. The additional strategy is to score points by redefining the "triangle shape" after you ring one of the stars. Ages 3yrs+.

Play Tips:

Players set up 3 Trigo Stars 1m apart, in a triangle shape 3m from the throw line.

Players take turns, throwing their rings from behind the throw line to land within the triangular shape field. "Ring the star" - allows you to call TRIGO and gives you the ability to re-throw the star to a new position and hopefully positioning your opponents' rings no longer scoring points as the triangular field has changed!

If one of your rings are inside, and another ring of the same colour touches one inside, all of them are in. Use the Measuring Line to see if the ring is in. Play in multiple rounds until a player reaches 10 points and wins!
