four pitchers and no catcher in cornhole?

i've actually played the game, and i was underwhelmed. fun at first, then got really old and i wanted it to end.

i found what some call "dingleberry" much more enjoyable. it's a game where you throw bolos at a rack. the one i've played used tennis balls and pvc.

Cornhole gets boring after two minutes. Overrated imo.

I built a MAME arcade game that was capable of playing 1000's of arcade games. I started an OOT thread about it a few months ago here. Its been a hit at parties. Total cost was approx $1,600, though you could build it for less. When I started I had no woodworking skills and probably moderate computer and wiring skills, so even if you dont have any skills yourself, they are not that hard to develop.

I also vote for cornhole, washers or redneck golf for outside activities.

cornhole/bags whatever is pretty awesome presuming your set is built so it's difficult to stick bags. Also, it's a prop betting game of the ages.
