How To Play Cornhole?

Set up two cornhole boards facing each other, about 27 feet apart from front edge to front edge

Divide players into two teams, with one or two players per team

Give each team four bean bags of the same color

Decide which team throws first

Stand beside your board and toss the bag underhand toward the opposite board

Take turns throwing one bag at a time until all eight bags have been thrown

Score 3 points for a bag that goes through the hole

Score 1 point for a bag that lands on the board and stays there

Score 0 points for a bag that lands on the ground or falls off the board

Cancel out the lower team’s points from the higher team’s points in each round

Keep score after each round

Start the next round with the team that scored last or the team that won the round, depending on your house rules

Continue playing until one team reaches 21 points exactly or goes over 21 and wins by your chosen rule set
