There's nothing more annoying than playing pool against a friend who's far too professional, or playing against a friend who used to play table tennis for two years and now she's hitting all the balls around your ears. Board games or sports are best if everyone can join in fanatically, even if you don't have any talent or are doing it for the first time. After all, it's not about winning unless, of course, you win. 

Low entry level at Cornhole

The nice thing about Cornhole is that the entry level is quite low. Friends who have never had a dart on the board you will suddenly see their first game win. Even with family members who always sat grumpy on the couch because they could never win it starts to tickle, never before have you seen them so enthusiastic and fanatic. 

Remarks of parlour games

The party games are on the rise. In London you can't walk into a pub without the ping-pong balls flying around your ears, in the Netherlands you walk to the bar via the jeu-de-boules track, you have to dodge the darts and your beers are put on the bar between a box of goose board and 30 seconds. Recently Cornhole has been added and with great success. 

Because everyone picks it up so easily, everyone feels they can win and whoever thinks they can win becomes a fanatic. And when your opponent becomes a fanatic, you become even more fanatic. Often it starts with two people from a group doing it for fun, but everywhere you see the same thing happening. At the end of the evening everyone is under the spell of Cornhole. In no time, entire tournaments are organized on the evening itself and everyone participates. Why? Because everyone thinks they can win!
