It has been called many things, Corn Toss, Bean Bag, Bean Toss, Soft
Horseshoes, Indiana Horseshoes, but to many of us born and raised in Kentucky
and the southern part of Ohio, the game is passionately referred to as Cornhole.
It has been said that the game originated in Germany in the 14th century, and then
was rediscovered in the hills of Kentucky over 100 years ago.
The truth is, who really knows, but the game is great fun for all ages and can be
played anywhere!
Cornhole or Corn Toss is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes
called cornhole platforms and corn bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes.
Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the cornhole platform until a
contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points,
while one on the platform scores 1 point.
Scoring can be swift and the lead may change hands several times in a match
before the winner is decided.
The game is generally played tournament style with an individual or team being
named the champion at the end of the tournament.
Why play Cornhole / Corn Toss?
The biggest reasons to play Cornhole or Corn Toss instead of horseshoes or other
similar games is that Cornhole can be played anywhere and everyone can play
Cornhole.
If you can aim and toss a corn bag 30 feet, you can master the game of Cornhole -
It's great for family outings.
It’s great fun for the whole family.
