About Washers

“Washers” is a backyard game similar to horseshoes. The game is played with 4 people (2 teams of 2 persons) who attempt to toss washers (small round disks 2.5″ outside diameter, 1″ inside diameter) into a wood box placed on the ground 25 ft away. There are two ways to score points. 1 point is earned for getting the washer into the box and 3 points are awarded if you toss the washer into the center tube. The winning team is the first team to get 15 points.
