Haha, you really cracked me up there 😁 You're not quite hitting the mark, though... close, but not quite.
What I’m actually picturing is when you're holding these much larger, solid rubber discs—not hollow ones, but heavy, dense things—and you have to toss them, but they can't just land anywhere; they have to land as close as possible to this little round rubber target on the ground! When I say round, I don't mean shaped like a ball or a bottle, I mean something more like a frisbee!
If it weren't for some regional game I stumbled upon while traveling through the Midwest last year, I might not have even known about 😁

@DoctorX1 thanks but looking it up on Google, it isn't even close to something like wrestling, far from it...

Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone here might know the actual name of this game, or specifically what those "Frisbee Balotte" 😁

are called...
Basically, I played this back in the day, maybe 10 or 15 years ago, and the rules are pretty much just like playing horseshoes or bocce, except instead of heavy metal or stone balls, you're tossing these little rubbery Frisbees! You have a small target—kind of like a bullseye—and everyone gets about three or four of these round rubber discs, and obviously, whoever lands closest to the target wins the round...

I've been dying to track some down and buy a set, but I'm stuck because I have no clue what to search for online or what the official name is...😁 Hopefully someone knows exactly what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction...

Thanks so much in advance!

Best,
