Cornhole Game
" Fun Party Games"
This cornhole game has been called everything from corn hole to corn toss, bean bag toss to soft horseshoes. Cornhole is a popular fun party game for all ages.
It's played like horseshoes except, if the corn bag or bean bag hits you it won't hurt as bad as a horseshoe unless you have a pitch of 100 miles an hour! The object of the game is to stand 30 feet away from the cornhole board and toss your bags into the hole. How To Play CornholeWhen you play the cornhole game, it is broken down into two innings,the top inning and the bottom inning. The first (top) inning begins when the first person throws all four of their corn bags. The second (bottom) inning begins when the the first person of the opposite team pitches all four of their corn bags. Innings are not complete until each player has thrown all four of their bags.
How Cornhole Boards Are Spaced The foul lines are spaced twenty seven feet apart for adults and twenty one feet apart for teens, measured from the actual hole on the opposite cornhole game board. How To Keep Score You have two ways to score points, In The Hole Points and On The Board Points. #1- If you or your partner throw your corn bags in-the-hole or your bag gets pushed in the hole by any of the players than it's considered in-the hole than the player or or team receives three points. #2- If you throw your bag and it lands on the board and stays there than you receive one point. You do not receive any points if your cornhole bag hits the board and lands on the ground. Some people call it an "Automatic Game Win" if one player gets all 4 of their bags in the hole in one inning!
