How to Play Washers
The game of washers is similar to horseshoes. Though these rules are how many people choose to play, they are not the only way to play. Keep in mind that the point of pitching washers is really just to have fun.
The game is often played with four people on teams of two that attempt to toss metal washers into a wooden box 20-25 feet away. You score points by either getting the washer in the box (1 point) or by getting the washer in the center tube (3 points). The winning team is the first to get to a predetermined point number (usually 15 or 21).
Rules:
- 2 people per team
- Boxes are 20-25 feet apart
- Player must remain behind box during toss
- scoring: box= 1pt., tube= 3 pts.
- Leaners do not count as extra points
- Washers landing on top of the box do not count as extra points
