Sound familiar?
A garden that gets used once a week, if that. Not because the space is wrong. Because the activation energy is too high.
Games that need 30 minutes of rules explanation before anyone has any fun.
Age gaps that make it impossible for a 4-year-old and a 12-year-old to play on the same team.
Garden toys that get used twice and live in the shed for the next three summers.
BBQs and gatherings where the adults stand around and the kids disappear inside after 20 minutes.
The Jaques Cornhole Game self-organises. Two boards, eight bags, one rule: toss the bag through the hole for 3 points, land it on the board for 1. First to 21 wins. That is the whole thing. Works from age 4 to 94, no referee needed, no separate equipment for younger players.
What families are saying about the Jaques Cornhole Game
Set it up at the BBQ. The kids played it, then the parents took over.
"Set it up at the BBQ. Kids played it, then the parents took over. Boards are still out three weekends later."
"My kids are 4 and 9. They both played the cornhole game at the same time without any arguments about fairness. That never happens."
"Solid boards, proper weight bags. Feels like a real cornhole set, not a cheap garden toy. Really pleased with the build quality."
Still reading? Three weekends in a row from one box.
Two boards. Eight bags. That is it.
Toss the bag, get it through the hole for 3 points, on the board for 1. First to 21 wins. Ages 4 to 94.
The Jaques Cornhole Game has been the most-played game at hundreds of garden parties because it requires nothing from the players except an arm and an opinion about where the hole is. You can join mid-game. You can swap in a grandparent. A 4-year-old can score a point off a 40-year-old and it does not feel unfair. That is by design.
Easy as 1, 2, 3
How the Jaques Cornhole Game works
Set the boards
Place the two cornhole boards facing each other, roughly 8 metres apart. Closer for younger players: 3 to 4 metres works perfectly for under-8s.
Two teams, alternate throws
Two teams of two. Each player throws four bags per round, alternating turns with the opposing team. Hole scores 3 points, board scores 1 point.
First to 21
First team to 21 points wins. The losing team immediately starts talking about best of three. You have been warned.

Families playing the Cornhole Game
It came out at the BBQ and stayed out for the rest of the summer.
Real quotes from real families who bought the Jaques Cornhole Game.
"We left the cornhole boards out in the garden after the barbecue. The kids were playing it every evening without us having to suggest it. Four weeks in and the bags are still being used. The neighbours borrowed it for their garden party and ordered one themselves the next day." Rachel, mum of two, Surrey
"First garden game we have had where the kids played unsupervised from start to finish. My 5-year-old and my 11-year-old were on the same team, genuinely competing against the adults, and both of them were completely absorbed in it. No asking for the iPad, no complaints about being bored. Just cornhole." Dan, dad of three, Bristol

Questions & answers
Everything parents ask about the Jaques Cornhole Game
What age is the Cornhole Game suitable for?
The Cornhole Game works from age 4 upwards. Younger children can play from a shorter distance, around 3 to 4 metres, while adults and older children play from the regulation 8 metres. Because the scoring system favours accuracy over strength, younger players can genuinely compete with and alongside adults without it feeling like a favour.
What size garden do I need?
For the regulation cornhole game distance you need roughly 10 metres of clear lawn space. For younger players or smaller gardens, 6 metres is more than enough. The boards do not need side clearance beyond a comfortable throwing lane. Most standard UK garden sizes work well at the shorter distance.
Can I play with 2 players or do I need 4?
Yes, the Cornhole Game works perfectly as a 2-player game. Each player stands at opposite ends and takes turns throwing all four of their bags. The same scoring rules apply: hole scores 3 points, board scores 1 point, first to 21 wins. Two players often run a faster and more focused game than four.
Are the boards foldable and how does the Cornhole Game store?
The cornhole boards are solid wooden panels that lay flat. They do not fold but they do stack flat against a shed wall or garage corner and take up minimal space compared to most garden game equipment. The bean bags store in a bag or box alongside the boards. The full set is straightforward to move and put away between uses.
Two boards. Eight bags. Throw through the hole.
The adults were still playing at 11pm while the kids were asleep inside.
We have been making moments like this since 1795.
