🏗️ Game Setup
-
Find Your Spot: Set up your boards on a flat surface — lawn, driveway, tailgate lot, or beach.
-
Distance: Place boards 27 feet apart (measured from the front edge). For younger players or beginners, move them closer.
-
Teams: Play with 2 or 4 players.
-
In a 4-player game, teammates line up directly across from each other.
-
In a 2-player game, if you throw from the left side of one board, walk straight across and throw from the right side on the next turn.
-
-
Choose Your Bags: Each team gets 4 bags of the same color — time to toss!
🌀 Game Play
-
Decide Who Throws First: Flip a coin or play a quick “closest toss” to start.
-
Alternate Throws: You throw one bag, then your opponent, back and forth until all 8 bags are tossed.
-
Stay Behind the Line: Your feet cannot cross the front edge of the board.
-
Ground Rules:
-
If a bag touches the ground before landing on the board, remove it — it doesn’t count.
-
If a bag hangs off and touches the ground, remove it before continuing.
-
-
Scoring: Once all bags are thrown, calculate the score (see below). The team with the higher round score throws first in the next round.
🧮 Scoring
After all 8 bags are thrown for the round:
-
1 Point → Bag fully on the Launch or Target Zones
-
2 Points → Bag touching the Slide or Drop Zones
-
3 Points → Bag that goes through the hole
🧾 Scoring Example:
If Team A scores 6 points and Team B scores 2 points, Team A adds 4 points to their total and throws first next round.
If both teams score the same number of points, no points are added and the first-throw advantage stays with the previous leader.
🏆 Winning the Game
The first team to reach 21 points — with a 2-point lead — wins!
Keep throwing until one team claims victory.
