RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first team to score 21 points, win by 2. Setup the boards with the wood side up 15 feet apart slanting in towards each other. Each team picks a side of one of the boards and their teammate goes directly in front of them next to the other board. Give each team 3 bags of the same color. Pick a team to throw first, then throws alternate between the 2 players from opposite teams.

On your turn, you throw 1 of your bags into the holes of the board across from you. When you throw, you may not step past the front edge of the board that is next to you. You may throw the bag however you like. After you throw 1 bag, your opponent throws 1 bag, and you alternate throws until all the bags are thrown. Bags may not be moved after thrown nor rethrown. Once all 6 bags have been thrown, you calculate points.

Bags score 1 point if they are in the front hole, 2 in the middle, and 3 in the back hole. A bag not inside a hole at the end of the round scores 0 points. Each team’s points cancel each other out so only 1 team will score each round. For example, if blue has 3 points and red has 5 points, then red would score 2 points for the round and add it to their score.

Gather up the bags and the team that scored the most points in the round throws first in the next round. If it is a tie, then the team that threw first last round throws first again. Rounds also alternate which set of players throws and the direction of the throws.

The first team to reach 21 points or more points, leading by 2, wins!
