Cornhole Bean Bag Toss Tabletop Game

Cornhole Bean Bag Toss Tabletop Game

tabletop cornhole gameToday I would like to introduce you to the company called AJJ Cornhole who is your one stop cornhole shop! If you love this outdoor game and have always wanted the best cornhole game set, this is the store you need to be shopping at!

When you shop at AJJ Cornhole you will find classic cornhole sets, specialty cornhole sets, tabletop cornhole sets, custom sets, personalized cornhole sets, bags and accessories. See, I told you that this was your one-stop site!

My Review: The great folks over at AJJ Cornhole sent us one of their tabletop cornhole sets to review for all of you. The one that I received for the review is called Navy Blue Pyramid Tabletop Cornhole Set and let me tell you, hubby and the kids have been having a blast with it since it arrived.

The wooden game boards are painted a pretty navy blue and white and each game board measures 5″ wide by 10″ in length. The little bags that you toss come with the game too and they measure 1″ by 1″ in size. The set comes with 2 wooden cornhole game boards and 8 of the little bags (4 in white and 4 in navy). The set also includes scorecards, playing instructions and a carry all bag to store it in. The entire set comes nicely packaged in a box and is fully assembled.

I can remember playing cornhole when I was a kid and my hubby grew up playing it too. We were super excited to get this set and play it with the kids. What is really nice about this tabletop version is that it can be played indoors, outdoors or take it with you on vacation too! A great way to keep the kids occupied this summer or while traveling.

Game Rules: Place the game boards 1 to 3 feet apart (according to age and skill level). Team partners face each other from opposite boards. Play can start from either board (we flipped a coin to see who goes first). Each team plays with a set of 4 bags. Opponents alternate tosses until all 8 bags are played. The round is then scored. Repeat the play from the other board. The scoring team has the honor of tossing first in the next round.

Scoring: A game = first team to score 21 points. You score 3 points for each bag in and through the hole. You get 1 point for each bag on the board. The score is the difference in the team totals. (example: After 1 round or 8 bags played, #1 team with 1 bag in the hole = 3 points. #2 team with 2 bags on board = 2 points. You would score the first round for #1 team = 1 point. Bags that are pushed in and through the hole by an opponent’s toss do count!

We set this up on our dining room table and had 3 of our nephews come over to play. They are ages 9, 11 and 13 years in age. For the game play, hubby joined them so we had 2 teams with 2 players each. The “guys” had a blast trying to toss their bags into the holes and you should of heard them when they accidentally knocked the opposing team’s bag into the hole. It was hysterical the things they would say! ha! This game entertained them for 2 1/2 hours nonstop! They absolutely loved it!

Blurt Word Game by Educational InsightsToday I would like to introduce you to the company called Educational Insights based out of Southern California. Educational Insights is the manufacturer of playful products with serious educational value, including subject-specific classroom products, teacher resources, educational toys, and games. Their products are designed by seasoned educators & parents who know that children love to learn when you make that learning experience fun!

When you visit the Educational Insights online web site you will find that it’s really easy to navigate. The web site has three tabbed categories which are the sections for Parents, Teachers and Classroom Jeopardy. Since I am a mother and grandmother…I could spend hours just browsing around their parent’s section of the web site.

My Review: The great folks over at Educational Insights sent us the “Blurt” Word Race Game to review for all of you. This game is for ages 7 and up and 3-12 players can play at a time. The game comes with 300 cards (with 1800 clues), 6 game pieces, die and the instructional guide. It is all nicely packaged in a reusable storage box. This game won the Dr. Toy’s Best Picks for New Children’s Products – 2009.

How To Play: Roll the die, read the corresponding clue from your card. All players then blurt out guesses on what they think the word is. The first player to blurt out the correct word moves ahead on the game board. Play continues until the first person makes it completely around the game board and then you crown your winner!

We decided to invite our 2 nephews and our 1 god son up to play this new game with us a few days ago and let me tell you…we all had a blast playing it! We had a total of 5 players (2 adults and 3 young teens) and it was super fun. It only took us 3 minutes to read the instructions & to fully understand them. We took our turns and play continued until my 14 yr. old nephew made it around the board first so we crowned him as the winner! We had a blast listening to one another “blurt” out the words we thought it would be and the evening was filled with a ton of giggles and good “ribbing”. This is a great game for family game night and we think your family would love it too!
