What is Cornhole?

Cornhole is an easy game played by two teams of two people; some call it “bean bag toss”. Cornhole can be found being played while tailgating for your favorite team or at neighborhood cookout. Players take turns throwing bean bags at a raised platform with a hole in the far end and points are scored by the beanbag landing on the platform or in the hole. It is an easy, fun game and great for all ages.
