Beach or Sward Rope Quoits

The traditional game of Quoits is centuries old and was played with steel quoits in clay pits. Where clay pits weren't available, people just stuck a stake into the ground and aimed the steel rings at that - this informal form of the game was often called "Sward Quoits".

Rope quoits developed on ships - sailors used quoits made from rope and either attached a stake to a wall or used an upstanding part of the ship (such as the belaying pin) as a target.

This lightweight travel version of traditional quoits is supplied with a single pin and 5 rope quoits (without metal ring) in canvas drawstring bag. Although the game is played with rope, the game itself is just like the old English game of Sward Quoits and it's a great game to take to the beach or just for playing in the back garden.

Base measures 9.5 inches square. Height 13 inches.

The game comes with a single pin which works fine. However, people who don't wish to walk backwards and forwards between each end could buy two games and have a pin at either end.
