Evesham Quoits

This is my own Evesham Quoits, or Dobbers Board. I'm using the Evesham tag because I know that this board originated from a long-closed pub in that area. It perhaps a shame that it was never painted in the traditional red and green livery, but I'm pleased that numbers indicating the scoring have not been added, frequently seen on more modern commercial boards. If you really need reminding of the 5-2-1 scoring areas, you probably shouldn't be playing the game in a pub anyway!

The only problem I have with this game is the two sets of quoits which came with the board. These are the cheaper, less flexible rubber version. They perform well enough, but the softer double-sided black and white quoits used in competition 'flop' down on the board better with less likelihood of bouncing off when thrown well. I'm also looking for a rubbery, non-crack paint to apply to one side of these quoits, and a proper frame with netting to catch wayward throws would be a nice addition.

It's a great game for the garden, especially for children, but I'll be trying it in the more adult environment of my local pub during the Winter months.

Seven scored, which is a reasonable score for this game.
