“Quoits, a game in which players toss rings at a stake, called the hob. A ring that encircles the hob scores two points for the thrower; a ring closer to the hob than an opponent’s scores one. It has been said that the game was played in Roman-occupied Britain (1st–5th century), or it may have been developed in medieval Britain, perhaps when peasants heated and bent horseshoes into rings and tossed them at iron pegs driven into the ground. Later, in the United States and Canada, horseshoe pitching became the more popular game.” Britannica While becoming relatively unheard of in many areas, quoits has remained a social gathering favorite among the Plain Communities of Amish and Mennonite. Manufactured at an old order Amish homestead in Ohio, each set is made to stand the test of time and use. Pride in craftsmanship you can see! EACH SET FEATURES: • 4 Solid Brass 4lb.
