Cornhole

What is cornhole?

Cornhole is a throwing game designed to improve hand-eye coordination.
It can be played by 2 to a maximum of 4 people or teams at a time; the goal of the game is to throw the bags into the hole and score the most points.

Rules of the Game

Each game of cornhole consists of several rounds in which two teams of two players compete against each other. The goal is to throw bags onto the board to score points.

Each team is given 4 bags. In a round, the two players on one team take turns throwing one bag after another onto the board. The points scored are then calculated and added to the total score. After that, the other two players take turns throwing their bags onto the board.
 

The position of the beanbag at the end of the round determines the points it earns. The following scoring applies:

  • one point for a beanbag that remains on the board
  • three points for a beanbag that falls through the hole in the board
  • no points for a beanbag that touches the floor

The points from each round are added up and included in the total score. The winning team is the one that reaches 21 points first.
