A.K.A. Spanish Horseshoes, French Darts
What it’s all about: Players take turns tossing a flying disc at their opponents bottle, which sits atop the opposite stake.

Upping the ante, players must only have one hand available for throwing and catching, so an object must be held in each players opposite had at all times.
