Corn Hole – Baggo

While I was in San Diego for my sister’s graduation form PLNU, my brother mentioned a game he called Corn Hole. It sounded pretty interesting and lately I have been thinking of something I can play with my kids in the backyard as well as with the church youth and college group.

Corn Hole is a game similar to horseshoes, but with bags that you toss in a hole. My bro says he likes Corn Hole (also called Baggo) much more.

I am considering making my own Corn Hole set. Haven’t decided yet. Anyone ever play Corn Hole? If you live near Houston, we should get together. Although let me warn you. Still today I have never played. Soon, very soon. Now is you time to beat me. It won’t last.

Here is what the game of Corn Hole is all about:

Cornhole is 2 boards, 8 bags, and two teams of 2 (can be played single). It’s like horseshoes with ‘cept with a bit nicer on the noggin beanbags. Teams of two stand at opposite ends of sloped boards and take turns “tossing corn” toward the hole in the opposite board.

A bag in the hole, known as a “cornhole”, is worth 3 points. A bag on the board, a “cow pie” is worth one point. Miss the board “sally”, is worth zero points.

The first team to 21 points wins. But because players can cancel opponents point values by earning the same amount of points in a single turn, the score can and does go back and forth. In other words, things get prett competitive, which makes Corn Hole sound like a great game.

Sound fun? Sure does to me. A great group, family game.
