The Popularity of Cornhole

Cornhole is growing in popularity as a backyard game. It is easy to learn and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. You don't need any special equipment, and it can be played almost anywhere. All you need is a flat surface and two cornhole boards.

Cornhole is becoming more popular as people are looking for new ways to have fun outdoors. It is a great game for parties or get-togethers, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

How Do You Play?

Cornhole is a game that is played with two teams of two players. The object of the game is to throw bags filled with corn at the opponent's board and score points. The first team to reach 21 points wins the game.

To play, you will need two cornhole boards, eight bags, and a flat surface. Place the boards 27 feet apart. One player from each team stands at a board, so you are playing across from your partner.

Each player takes turns throwing one bag at a time. You must throw from behind the front tip of the board. If your bag lands on the board, you earn one point. If your bag goes into the hole, you earn three points. The first team to reach 21 points wins the game. Only one team can score points during a round, so if Team 1 scores 5 points and Team 2 scores 2 points, you only count 3 points for Team 1 (5-2=3). It may sound complicated at first, but it's super simple and tons of fun!

The History of Cornhole

The history of cornhole is a bit murky, but the game is believed to have originated in the Midwest in the early 1900s. Farmers would use sacks filled with corn to toss at a board in their barnyard as a way to pass the time. The game quickly became popular and was eventually standardized into the version that we know today.

Rise in Popularity

One of the reasons for its increasing popularity is that it is a very social game. It can be played with friends or family, and it is a great way to spend time together outdoors. Cornhole is also a very competitive game, and there are many tournaments now taking place around the country.

Cornhole is a great game for all occasions. Whether you are hosting a party or just want to have some fun in the backyard, cornhole is the perfect game. So get out there and give it a try! You might just find yourself hooked on this fun and addicting game.
