It is likely that many people have played Washer Toss in the past, but did not know that is what the game was called. This game is also known as Holy Boards, Texas Horseshoes, and Washers. Texas Horseshoes is the best alternative name that describes the game. Both washer toss and horseshoes have very similar rules. Even if a person hasn't played Horseshoes before, the washer toss rules are not at all difficult to understand.
Washer Toss is played by tossing flat metal washers into holes. It is generally a safer outdoor game than Horseshoes. It can also be picked up and put away easily without leaving stakes in the ground, which can be a hazard. It is usually played outdoors on a lawn. It has been regaining popularity in recent years because it's fun to play and portable enough to bring anywhere from home: to the beach, on camping trips, and to parties.
The first stage to playing the game is to set it up. There are two boards that are usually raised up until they are a certain distance from the ground so they can act like platforms that players will stand on. Each board has three circular holes cut into it in a straight line.
The holes are cut slightly larger than the washers that are used for tossing, but not so large that the game is too easy, and not so small that it becomes impossible to play. Each board is set up 10 feet across from one another. Most come with an attached rope that is 10 feet long which makes it easy to figure out where to put the boards down at.
Washer toss rules are simple and as follows for a two-person, one-on-one game: Players start on the same side and toss rings into the board on the opposite side. Each player gets three washers to throw. The first player throws his three and then the second player throws his. Scores are taken down by the players or the spectators and then they move to the other board and toss another three washers each.
Washer toss rules for games with two teams comprised of two people each, the rules are: Each team throws from the opposite board and each player has three washers to throw. The first player from team one will throw and then the first player from team two will throw, ending round one. The second player from the first team will then throw, followed by the second player from team two, ending round two.
Scores are noted after each round for either game type and are then tallied for a final score. One point is given for each washer that makes it into the hole closest to the thrower, two points for getting a washer in the center hole, and three points for each that gets into last hole. For each type of washer toss game, the player or team with the highest score wins.
