A popular game at family gatherings, tailgate parties and office picnics is Cornhole. This game is gaining players both young and old all over the United States. This simple act of throwing a bean bag into a hole on a wooden board is a great way to pass the time. There are two teams that compete to be the first to reach or exceed 21.
This game is played for fun and also as a tournament. There is a local pub in my area that has a Cornhole tournament every Thursday where the team wins a cash prize. Some nights there are a lot of people that attend while other nights there are hardly any.
To learn more about the game and purchase special gear simply go to www.playcornhole.org. This is the website for the American Cornhole Association. This site lists the rules, how to play, how to start a tournament and any recent news related to the game. Cornhole boards can also be bought on numerous other sites or you can have a set made especially for you. Due to the fact we are in the Buckeye state it is not hard to spot the popular OSU Cornhole boards with scarlet and gray bean bags.
Some other accessories for this game include scoreboards, totes for the bean bags and even lights for the holes on the board. These lights run off of a 9 volt battery and can be attached to any board. This type of accessory can allow for all night cornhole playing.
Who would have thought a simple bean bag game would gain such popularity in society. It is a game that is played year around in our family whether outside in the grass in the summer or in the barn in the winter time.
