Cornhole | Bags
Cornhole, also known as bean bags, baggo, bags, or sack toss, is a common lawn game where players (singles or teams of two) throw bean bags at a hole on an angled board to score points. Players score three points for throwing a bag through the hole, and one point for each bag that lands and remains on the platform. Cornhole is commonly scored with cancellation scoring where the total points for each team are tallied and the difference is awarded to the higher scoring team. Games are played until one team reaches 21 points.
Modern cornhole was invented in 1883 as a game called ‘Parlor Quoits’ that substituted horseshoes with bean-bags so that the game could be played indoors.
Cornhole is commonly played in a variety of venues that typically include backyards, bars, breweries, camp sites, and tailgating events.
Cornhole has gained popularity for a variety of reasons that may include the simplicity of the game rules, the social nature of competing in teams or watching others play, and the ease of transporting the required game equipment.
