Kit Contains: 1 game (2 portable cornhole boards with attached scorekeepers, 8 cornhole bags in two different colors, instructions) : plastic, nylon + in a blue carrying bag
Summary: Now all ages can play the family-favorite game of cornhole with our indoor/outdoor portable cornhole set! This lightweight travel set is a new spin on the classic cornhole game, with features making the game easier for younger players to learn and participate. Our portable boards are slightly smaller than traditional cornhole boards (23″L x 18″W x 4″H). Each board also has two holes rather than one, offering an extra opportunity for scoring for beginners and younger players. Set the boards up facing each other at a distance of 12-15′ for junior-level playing, and increase the distance to 27′ as skills improve. The four legs on each board pop out for play and tuck in neatly for storage. Keep track of points on the scorekeeper located at the top of each game board. All pieces store conveniently inside the locking boards, making this set the perfect portable party game. Play one-on-one, or with two teams of two players each.
