Strategic Toss, is an 8' X 10' X 4' mock football field tailgate party game.  Interactivity is encouraged. The top of the game box is painted green and white like the grass and white outlines of a football field. Target holes are cut out of the top of the large, green and white, painted, faux football stadium surface, in the shape of particular Middle Eastern countries, i.e. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Yemen, each of which is assigned a point value, ( i.e. Iran = 50 points, Iraq = 45 points, and so on.)  The public plays the game by throwing red, white and blue striped mini-footballs at the country shaped target holes and wins when the footballs make it into the Middle Eastern country shaped holes accumulating the highest number of points.  Nearby is a galvanized tin pail filled with mini footballs, all printed with black painted images of U.S. military equipment.: F-14's, Apache helicopters, and tanks.
