it's basically like horseshoes with bean bags. maybe out west or up north they call it somthing else. you have these wooden boxes with a hole, their slanted at an angle, and you basically toss the bean bags in the hole or closest to the hole.

that sounds like stuff they have at the county fairs here in kentucky, i like cowshit bingo, they mark a big field off in giant squares and people buy a number, then they wait for the cow to take a dump. i also like turkey bowling, they mark off a lane and use plastic or foam pins and you throw a frozen turkey down the lane, if your one of the last to go, usually the turkey has lost its wrapper and webbing, so its all slippery and the wings and legs will flop around and make it hard to toss it straight down the lane.

You can't do f all in cinci so I guess that explains it. beanbag toss taking over the bars? OMG.

It originated as a farm game many decades ago. I noticed the revival in Cincinnati around 2001-02. Also, it's played with a cornbag not a beanbag.

Some, maybe most people play better if they've had a few drinks.

I first heard about it three years ago when I was visiting Dayton, Ohio, they were playing it in some bar.

well i guess since i'm close to Cincy, thats why its been here for awhile, and has got out of control. i'm sick of this game.

Getting real popular in the Chicago area too.

I had never heard of this game till I moved to Cincy last year, but it is everywhere. They have like thirty sets outside of Paul brown Stadium before the games. I have yet to find the correct no. of drinks that make me good at it, therefore I've never really enjoyed it.
