Hell yes. They sell boards that you can paint yourself for $30 at the local art supply store. I like bocce ball as well.

Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. He said, “Hole.” Is that what you all were thinking? Because I was!

But honestly, I’d never heard of this game. It sounds like fun. You should bring it to the hipsters of NYC, they’re getting bored with kickball in McCarren Park.

I could swear that game has a different name in Illinois but I could be mistaken. I’m hoping to get into some washer games this year. Didn’t find much action last year so it’s a goal now.

I play a ton of Cornhole . Funny how some people haven’t heard of it, and others are obsessed with it. Check out the pictures in the photo gallery at the Cornhole Players website, there’s some really cool stuff!

Sooo lemme get this straight. You get together with the guys and play a game called cornhole? When you score is it called cornholing? Just curious.

@JC, love cornhole!!! Right up there with warm Krispy Kreme doughnuts… I want a tabletop version for the office.

@Sakata, the washer game’s fun, too.

I’m from Indiana and as much as I’d hate to admit it, EVERYONE plays this game. It’s actually really fun and we play it at a lot of outdoor parties and stuff. Pretty popular among college students (fraternities’ front lawns, etc.).

The technical name for it is Baggo. There are like real rules and everything. It’s a little different than the wooden sets, but I think more fun.

@judochop we have some girls that play and they call their team “Nothin’ but Panties”. Everyone loves it, we grill out and get our “hole” on. I love to stick it in the hole from way down town. One time I drilled it right in the hole 5 times in a row, which is freakin tough

You can call scoring anything you want, as long as you get it in the hole. And, you actually earn points for getting close to the hole (so its fun for everyone, even you judo)
Dont knock it til you try it.

lol wow. That’s a great question. Would anybody really admit to playing cornhole?

jpragon's avatar

Hi I happen to be the owner of both Cornhole.com and MiniCornhole.com…Its hard to talk to a bank outside of the midwest and tell them that I sell cornhole. I hope it catches on everywhere!!!
