Cornhole

Cornhole boards and bean bags are common sights in the backyard or the bar patio. While the game is commonly associated with the American Midwest, it is enjoyed nationally and even internationally. Competing one-on-one or in teams, players attempt to throw bean bags at a slanted wooden board with a hole in it. They score one point for landing a bag on the board and three points for throwing a bag through the hole. The game is played with many house rules and regional variants. Cornhole’s simplicity and flexibility have made it a staple of the picnic, bonfire, and barbecue for adults and children alike.
