Step 1) With this project it will start out with a rectangle from the insert button, this rectangle has the corners rounded off with the use of the radius feature. The larger the number entered the more round the corners. Once the rectangle has been sized and shaped the next object needed is a cone shaped triangle from the shapes list. This triangle also gets reshaped. The reshaping is done by un-locking the size ratio and stretched height wise. once it is high enough a rectangle is created and placed on the top. This rectangle area will be removed by using the combine feature and the subtract option.

Step 2) With the triangle cone shaped object having the top removed it is copy and pasted 2 times to make 3 identical triangles. These are moved to the bottom of the rectangle with equal spaces between them. Then with the insert button a circle is created slightly larger than the bottom of the triangle. These are placed just over top.

Step 3) Now the 2 outside triangles have circles but the middle needs to be set farther back. in order to do this the middle triangle has it's size ratio un-locked and it is again stretched longer. Then once the triangle in the middle is taller than the other 2 the third circle is placed like the others. Now the entire design is high lighted and the combine feature is used. We want all of these pieces removed from the rectangle so subtract is selected. This removes these and opens the bottom of the rectangle.

Step 5) Now the disc for the game is created, this is a circle just smaller than the narrowest part of the opening to make it challenging. The circle is created with the insert button and once the proper size is made the circle is replicated with the array feature to make 6 that are all the same. With the 6 discs 3 of them get a letter A and 3 of them get a letter B to tell them apart and to know who gets what points. Once this is all ready the 6 circles are placed within the openings to reduce material waste.
