GoSports 4x2 ft Aluminum Cornhole Game Set with LED Lights or Standard - 2 Foldable Regulation Boards & 8 Bean Bags - Perfect for Backyard, Tailgating, and Outdoor Parties

Cornhole?? Really? Who thought of this name? My buddies and I had fun just with the name for days (cornholin; imma cornhole you up; i "heart" cornhole). I had only played this game once for a few minutes at a tailgate party years ago and didn't think all that much of it, but upon further review... this game is seriously addicting, esp in the right environmental and with beer. I searched for a while for a set before finally deciding on this one for a camping trip to Yosemite. Learned so much in the process - like the fact that this one is "regulation size" and that there is such a thing as the ACA (yup, American Cornhole Association) - and that these things can get pretty pricy. After playing on this one, I sure am glad I didn't cut costs by getting a smaller, cheaper one for about $60-$75. Regulation size is the way to go, because points are scored not only for cornholes, but also if the bag stays on the board - and with a 3 foot long board or smaller (like most of the mini sets are), I imagine it would be almost impossible for the bean bags to stay on the board. The bags slide on these too, but with the proper toss they will stay on the board and do so frequently. To me, the fact that it is slippery makes the game more challenging, as t makes scoring points is more difficult and knocking opponents bags off also becomes a bigger part of the game as well. These boards also bounce a bit, but not so bad that it affects gameplay (the playing surface plays a role on that too). Some have complained about the rim around the cornhole, but to me no impact there either. When I first opened it up, one of the hinges was dented - likely from transport - so I couldn't open up one of the boards without first hammering the metal hinge back up to a straightened position. This only took 5 minutes though so I'm not going to deduct for this, but I imagine that's why this product is currently "under review" by amazon, because of the shipping/packaging. Regardless, I highly recommend this kit, and I'm so glad I got it. We played it for hours at our campsite and our neighbors would often stop by to watch cause we were having so much damn fun, some of whom were foreigners and would just stare for long periods trying to figure out why we were enjoying ourselves so much... but that just made us feel like star athletes. The next day we set it up by the a river and played for a few more hours - addicting I tell you - so they are easy to transport, albeit large. Oh the bean bags were of good quality too, well made with good heft. Next year, I'm gonna find a way to lug these to the top of Half Dome and cornhole up there! On second thought... maybe not, but that would be the ultimate cornhole venue.
