Cornhole or bean bag games are a favorite pastime while tailgating for your favorite team.
A simple game to pass the time away, and enjoy a day in the sun with friends is what it is all about.
You can make your own bean bag game from basic materials found around the home or home improvement store or you can buy game boards online with your favorite team logo and color scheme.
Whichever way you go, your day will be filled with good fun, good beer and good times.
Add a few twists by using some of the variations that are popular in different parts of the country like: The Denver Dive - This version of the popular game has the following rules:

• Target boards are set 20 feet apart.
  
• Each team member gets 3 bags, 2 of one color with other bag color being the dive bag.
  
• Each regular bag is tossed like normal to the hole.
  Points are scored based on whether or not the bag lands on the board (1 point) or in the hole (3 points).
  
• The Dive Bag is then tossed last and doubles the points of the bag it matches (2 or 6 Points ) if the bag dives into the hole.
  If the dive bag is the only bag that scores points, they are made at face value

Another variation popular on the West coast is the termed the Seattle Swing

• Board pieces are set at 10 paces
• 2 bean bags are tossed toward the hole from each team member as usual
• You get 1 point for a bag on the board, 2 points if it is hanging over the edge the hole and 3 points for each bag that goes in to a hole.
  If the bag "swings off" any side but does not fall to the ground, the current points on the board are doubled.
  To do this, the toss style changes from a high arc to a more horizontal motion.
  

As you play your own favorite variation, keep in mind that there are many other ways to add to the scoring of the standard bean bag toss game for your tailgate party.
