Cornhole Cornhole

The answer is pretty simple. It’s an addicting yard game that’s sweeping the nation. Basically, you have two boards each with a hole in them about 30 ft apart. You throw corn filled bean bags at them. You score points by either keeping a bag on the board or making a bag in the hole, a “Cornhole”. You can play with as few as two people or get a tournament together with as many as you can round up.

Cornhole is similar to horseshoes in many ways, but has some unique advantages that are making horseshoes, and even lawn darts, a thing of the past. First off all Cornhole is kid friendly. It is a great family game, and it’s perfect for any type of party. Not only can the kids play, but most importantly you don’t have to worry about them getting injured. If you have every played a game of horseshoes or lawn darts, you know exactly what I am talking about. Either one of them can really hurt a kid or even a pet that gets in the way.

The other big advantage is its portability. To play horseshoes you need permanent pits set up to play the game right. For lawn darts, you need grass or dirt, which is a little easier to come by than horseshoe pits, you might agree. But you can’t take either one of them tailgating can you. Cornhole can be taken just about anywhere. Campgrounds, tailgating, driveways, backyard barbecues, parties, wherever you go, you can bring your boards. If you have a number of friends that have sets, you can line them up for tournaments side by side. If you have a foldable set of Cornhole boards, the whole set will fit in any trunk.

The game I am talking about has many other names as well. You may hear it called Cornhole, bean bag toss, hillbilly horseshoes, Baggo, or corn toss. You probably wouldn’t have too much trouble finding many other names for the game. The history of the game remains a mystery. Check out The Secret History Of Cornhole for many of the theories that have been floating around. In the end, it doesn’t really matter. Either way, most agree that it’s a ton of fun.
