Who knew Pitching Pennies was such an old game? The Competition Council certainly didn’t. As far as we knew this game was invented by a group of degenerate middle-schoolers looking for some action during recess. Sure, you could bully small people out of their lunch money but why not turn it into a game and take a rake? How does an 11-year-old know about a rake? That’s another story, and we need to get back to the game. Due to inflation, Pitching Pennies for DECAGONATHON is really Pitching California $1 slot tokens. The game is simple, pitch the coins toward a wall, whoever is closest wins all of the tossed coins. So go to California and get some old school $1 slot coins, play the DECAGONATHON rules for the points, then whoever wants a little extra action can use the $1 coins to play winner takes all.
