Cornhole, also known as “bag toss” or “bean bag toss”, is a popular outdoor game played all across the United States. Cornhole has now made its breakthrough in Europe and is growing rapidly every year. The game is about throwing small bean-filled bags towards a board with a hole in the centre. Points are awarded when the bag goes into the hole or lands on the board. Here are some different game formats and variations of Cornhole that you can try.
1. Singles Match
A regular Cornhole game is the most common format of Cornhole. Each player or team has four bags and tries to throw them into the hole on the board from a designated distance. Points are awarded when the bag goes into the hole or lands on the board. The player or team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
2. Double elimination
Double Elimination is a variation of singles play where each player or team gets two chances to win. If a player or team loses a game, they move to a “losers bracket” where they still have a chance to win. Play continues until only one player or team remains in the “winners bracket” and one player or team in the “losers bracket”. These two players or teams then meet in a final game.
3. Cutthroat
Cutthroat is another variation of Cornhole where each player or team plays individually. Each player or team has four bags and tries to throw them into the hole on the board from a designated distance. Points are awarded when the bag goes into the hole or lands on the board. The points from each player or team are counted separately, and the player or team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
4. Team play
In Team Play, two teams compete against each other. Each team consists of two players working together to score as many points as possible. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
