Even though the Cornhole is very young, the popularity of it is continuing to grow. This is largely because of people in the northern part of the country, where the game allegedly began, and how much interest they had in keeping the game alive. Had it not been for these people the Cornhole game might have passed out of existence, but the following continued to grow, and it is much stronger today. This is, naturally, good for the people who enjoy playing the game, as there are also tournaments now and these provide cash and prizes, or sometimes just small prizes and a good time, to people who enjoy playing. A lot of people do not know how the Cornhole game began, though, or what it really is. As for where and how it got its start, that is still something that a lot of people are debating.

There are some people who say that it began in Illinois, and other who feel that it was started in Ohio. Wherever it came from, however, it is likely to continue to grow and spread throughout the country. The Cornhole game is most often played in the north, but there are also pockets of it in the west, where it is becoming increasingly popular, as well as other areas. The warmer temperatures there and the lower humidity mean that people can be outside much more often, especially in the winter and during the early mornings and late evenings. Because of this there is a lot more time for these people to play the Cornhole game. Backyard parties and get-togethers of any kind are great for this kind of game, and anyone ? young or old ? can play along and enjoy it. There are a lot of different options for someone who wants to play it because there are no real physical demands and the rules are very easy to understand. This is true of people with disabilities as well, and people who may have trouble comprehending more complex games, such as very young children.

One of the other reasons that people like the Cornhole game so much is simply because it is safe and fun to play. The Cornhole bags that are tossed at the board are very lightweight, and they are easy to throw. Because the player does not stand that far from the game board the bags are not pitched like a baseball, but instead they are thrown gently under-hand. This makes it easy for anyone to make the toss to the board, since the distance is just enough to be challenging and not enough to be difficult. In addition, the board is very safe. There are no sharp edges, and it is also not that heavy. The board can either be bought in wood or plastic, giving people two options now. There are also people who like to make their own Cornhole sets, and they make the boards out of wood and the bags out of a durable cloth, usually stuffed with plastic pellets. This way their Cornhole game set it protected from both rain and sun, and they will be able to enjoy it for many years.
