Cornhole\Bags

So I'm sure plenty of you have played this game before, especially at grad parties and things like that. But I also have heard that many places don't have any clue what it is and haven't ever played it before. This can just be a topic to discuss or ask questions or share stories that you have about cornhole.

I have a few questions for everybody in general though. Do you know what cornhole is? If you don't, where do you live? Do you enjoy playing it? Have you ever gotten 4 in a row before? What exactly are your rules to playing cornhole?

In Ohio, these are our rules (at least my part of Ohio...):

1) 1 point for getting the bag on the board and 3 for getting it in the hole

2) Points cancel each other out. So 3 vs. 2 points means the score is 1-0

3) Each person throws one bag at a time and alternates throwing a total of 4 bags

4) Whichever person or team scored most recently throws first

5) First to 21 wins and if you go over you go back down to 15

For those of you who don't know what it is at all, you basically have 2 boards that each have one hole in them. The boards are slanted up slightly from the ground from pegs on the back of them. You have bags and try to get as many in the hole and on the board as you can. It's relatively simple.

yeah I'm from CA, and I've never heard of cornhole. basically sounds like any kind of bean bag tossing game you'd find at a carnival somewhere.

which kind of reminds me, anyone ever played kubb? I played it when I visited family in MN, it's fun with a big group of people. (who don't mind looking like a bunch of nerds, lol)

Wow, This is exactly like the Lawn Jarts game that got banned back in the 70's for safety reasons, except instead of using metal spikes, you're using bean bags. I think every area has this game, just called something else.

On a side note: Has anyone ever seen an actual cornhole the food item? It's sick lol.

Where I live, cornhole means something else...

Man, that seems like a fair bit of fun... But honestly, I thought of this:

Op, you are a psychic.

I just got done playing this at a grad party.

I'm in Pennsylvania.

This game is the shit when you get competitive, haha.

At every damn grad party I've went to in the past year we've played cornhole.

Pennsylvania here also, I never knew this game only had certain regions that played it.

I see my parents play this all the time at my cousin's parties. They all just call it "Beanbags" =/

I've only ever actually played once, and I don't remember us having any rules other than "If you get it in, you get a point." I enjoyed it when I played it. They do play it quite a lot though, but I've never actually paid attention to the rules. I'm having a party in a week or so and if they play I'll watch...

I do remember two rules they used, though...

We only count if it gets in the hole, not if it touches the board, and each team has 4 bags and it's a circular rotation.

It is a fun game, though. They usually get distracted from it by beer pong, but I'll save that for some other thread

I just got back from a party where I played this for two hours (I only got three in a row tonight). You guys are really strict; we don't cancel out, and we keep playing even if you go over 21 with a win by 2 rule. Some of our games have gone to 50 because we kept matching each other's scores.
