Bean Bag, Bag Toss, Corn Toss and better known as Cornhole is not a common sport, just hearing the name sounds weird. Unless your tailgating before a special event or hanging out at your family reunion, drinking lemonade and eating hot dogs you probably won’t think of playing this great sport. Typically two to four players can play at a time; One on One is possible.
