A game similar but distinctly unique from modern horseshoes. Quoits is played with a rubber or metal ring-shaped object called a quoit rather than a U shaped horse shoe.

Specific rules for the game vary from place to place, as does the pronunciation of it's name. In central New Jersey, we play Trenton Quoits (Trent-n Kwates).
Bill: "Tim's having a BBQ this weekend."

Ted: "We gonna play quoits?"

Bill: "Yeah man, his pit is clay and everything!"

A game played at New Years Eve in Melbourne when Corona Virus lockdown is reintroduced. The usual fireworks are cancelled so glow stick bracelets are skillfully tossed onto cock of the quoitee. In the event of deflation of the quoitee the quoit tosser is responsible for the level of hardness of the game. If cock becomes flaccid points are relinquished.

5 rings wins a prize.
Anthony came down from Albury to see the fireworks in Melbourne but they were cancelled. A game of Cock Quoits was the only solution to see see out 2020.
