I can't think back to 1996 when it first came out.

Drinking game? Pitching Pennies? "Pitching pennies is a popular game played by the young and old alike, and is also a Boy Scout activity. The game is played as follows. Each player stands at an agreed upon distance from a wall, curb, other solid, flat object, or a line. The players take turns throwing coins, one at a time, at the target. The player whose coin comes to rest the closest to the target wins."

It looked a bit like the Japanese game Go. It is played with plain black and white pieces which can be substituted by heads and tails. Just as Blair says: it is easy to learn but difficult to master.
