If you've heard of the cornhole game, chances are you're already intrigued. While the origins of this game are in question, there is evidence that it has existed, in one form or another, for centuries, although purists may disagree. Cornhole has become so popular in recent years that there are leagues and an official organization that oversees the rules and regulations of cornhole games.

However, for millions of families, barbecues, and picnic lovers, Cornhole is ideal as it is relatively easy to transport, set up, and learn to play so kids of any age can learn the basics and rules quite easily. Some younger children may not have the strength or agility to throw the beanbags that are part of the cornhole game far enough, so it is better to allow them to be closer to the regulation that adults 27 feet.

Set up the playing surface

Cornhole is a game that can be played practically anywhere. All it takes for family fun is a relatively level surface. While purists argue that the tables should be perfectly level, this is not always practical. If this is the case, remember that both players will throw to the same board, so if the bags bounce off an odd angle then it will be the same for both players.

To comply with the regulation, the distance between the front of both boards must be 27 feet. Tables should be as aligned with each other as possible.

Playing cornhole

To play cornhole boards, each player will stand on either side of a board in front of the other. Each player will
have four bean bags to throw. You can use a coin to determine who goes first, or use a throw closest to the hole. The first player tosses a bean bag toward the other board. The goal is to put it in the hole or at least keep the bag on the board.

After the first player throws a bag of beans, the second player throws one. Players rotate from side to side until the last bag is thrown. Players then move to the other board, add their score, and return to their starting board.
