What is Cornhole?

A great game for the entire family! Cornhole, also called "tailgate toss", "bean bag toss", "baggo", "corn toss", or simply "bags" is a lawn game in which players take turns pitching cornhole bags (duck cloth bags filled with corn) at a raised wooden platform with a hole in the far end. There are several versions and sizes but the most well-known size is 2 feet wide by 4 feet long with a 6 inch hole centered 9 inches down from the top. The surface sits 12 inches high off the ground in the back and 4 inches high in the front. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a player reaches the score of 21. The game can be played as either doubles or singles and uses two boards with 8 bags (4 of one color and 4 of another).
