For starters, I'm from the Midwestern United States but have lived on both coasts. There is a popular game here played at sporting events, bars, corn mazes, haybale rides, etc named "Cornhole."

Despite the snicker-inducing name, it is played by people young and old, rich and poor, and of many different ethnicities. The basic premise is that each team tosses bean bags into an opponents "board" trying to sink the bag into a hole.

here is a general idea of what the board looks like.

And here is a brief video showing how to play

I've seen it played on the west coast as well, and the Canadian board above makes me think our neighbors to the north play it as well. I also vaguely remember hearing it called something else, but the name escapes me.

Where did this game come from? Is it an evolution of another popular game?

Thank you for reading.
